May Meanderings……..

Hope to see you sometime during the month.

We have had a spate of mindless graffiti etc. Please do not hesitate to phone the British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40. Whilst they might not be around at the time – they do step-up their patrols here.

How does your station grow?

The latest station footfall statistics have just been published for the year 2010-11.

Mytholmroyd had 147,660 Entries and Exits during the year -

an increase of 10.8%.

This was most welcome after the reduction the previous year – probably due to the negative publicity regarding ‘losing half our trains’.

We still have two trains per hour to the main centres of Leeds and Manchester,  for which we should be thankful to Northern Rail and Metro.

The volunteers of the Station Partnership are promoting the use of the station and the excellent train service – by their station improvement work and by the distribution of timetables etc.

We would like to see two trains per hour to Halifax and Bradford – and we continue to seek better connections at Hebden Bridge and Sowerby Bridge.

The following are some charts which show how Mytholmroyd fits into the Calder Valley rail scene.

More data will be produced in the near future.

In the meantime, any queries please do not hesitate to email on – myt.station@btinternet.com


Our own MBEEEEEs

No,  not those sort who want to protect their coverted fox-hunting in the Chilterns from the evil High Speed Rail Mk2.

Paul and Mary richly deserve to have been done at the Palace -

they have contributed so much towards the community stations that we now have in the Calder Valley.
