Better rail travel for all.....

A friend has just sent me a link to SMART, a local group campaigning to improve rail travel in our area. Apparently there are moves afoot for there to be a direct line link from Huddersfield to Slaithwaite.

I don't know about you, but struggling around train stations with push chairs, young children and piles of books, crayons etc to keep them happy is not my idea of fun. We love travelling by train, don't get me wrong, and we're all really happy once sitting down with our coffee/sandwiches/books and crayons (or wandering up and down the aisles with ds2 who is 2). It's the in betweeny bits which can be a total pain.... no lifts at stations, only long flights of stairs, long waits for connections and no waiting room or horrible urine smelling waiting rooms. Anything to improve this is welcome and clearly a direct line to a main destination will help.
