Didn't this used to stop at Sowerby Bridge (sometimes) anyway? Perhaps
back when it was TPX's Blackpool-Scarborough?

from the Metro doc:

"Moston, Mills Hill, Castleton, Rochdale, Smithy Bridge, Littleborough,
Walsden (one peak train only) and Todmorden will gain an hourly
service to and from Leeds via Brighouse, Dewsbury and other
intermediate stations. Stations between Morley and Brighouse
(excluding Ravensthorpe) will gain an hourly link to and from
Todmorden, Rochdale and Manchester Victoria and intermediate
stations in Greater Manchester"

so that's all-stations?

Very interesting - thank you for posting this.

Assume your source is

?

My fag-packet calculation says this is going to need more diagrams - is
there more stock or is it a case of dividing up some of the current
2*155 or 155+153 combinations to do it?
