(2) The details given to passengers had no info on the return, except 'the
return trip will now be via Leeds, Dewsbury, Huddersfield'. Kevin Driscoll
suggests Leeds Avoider and a reversal at Wakefield Kirkgate, but Baker atlas of
1977 shows the 'Leeds Avoider Route' would have been via Normanton
without the need for the reversal. Confirmation required on routeing around
Leeds.
