This railway, the 'new line' to Leeds' was not constructed until the 1890s, and expensive engineering work was needed to skirt round the top side of the town centre, including a deep cutting and several bridges to carry the residential streets. It is intended that the line should become a cycleway, and it is to be hoped that this will curb the tipping of rubbish into the cutting.
