Thornhill to Low Moor Train Simulator

We depart Thornhill Station (near Dewsbury) and head right on the Ravensthorpe branch on a slow train bound for Bradford Exchange.
We will be calling at Ravensthorpe, Heckmondwike Central, Liversedge Central, Cleckheaton Central, and Low Moor.

as a kid living on Dewsbury moor is where y interest in trains and train spotting began, We had three lines running across Dewsbury Moor until they were smashed.

Very enjoyable,walked that route many times, the infrastructure of our railways in those days was superb,and the scenery around,long before the housing developments and the m62 and m606,well it just shows,how our unique areas were changed ,and mainly by the car..! Thanks for the nostalgia !

would be a goldmine today

Yes. How short sighted they were back then! Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike are sizable towns to be without a railway station.
