Hi

Major hassle today in Wakefield (Westgate).

Myself and family were on the GNER train to go back to Leeds. Everything was ok till the train started to pull out of the station.

Due to the heavy rain and leaves on the line the GNER didnt get far. It had to go back into the platform. (The GNER then set of to Kings Cross after a long delay)

We managed to get back to Leeds tho as we got the Selby train that goes via Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford and Leeds.

We were going to get off at Bradford and get bus home but as we were approaching Huddersfield the conductor said that this train would not be going to Halifax, Bradford and Leeds. It would instead be going non-stop to Leeds via Dewsbury.

It took 1 hour and 10 minutes to get from Wakefield to Leeds. It only took us 15 mins max to get from Leeds to Wakefield. lol

How many more times will trains be delayed or cancelled due to "Leaves On The Line" over the next few months.
