Done, David.
I remember going to Lincoln from Huddersfield by train in 1981. Seeing all the
catenary equipment collapsing in the yard at Penistone seemed such a ridiculous
waste, as did the reversing tactics needed to get the train into Sheffield
Midland station. The journey would have been so much easier if the old GC route
had been open all the way.
The 1500v DC system also was an excellent energy saver, with trains on the
downgrade generating much of the power for those going up the Pennines.

Rail buffs will understand without further clarification.
The best trans-Pennine route, my grandfathers old stomping ground, should
never have been closed.....
