Latest inflation figures suggest that if the Government re-uses its July RPI + 1% formula to increase rail fares, we could be paying 5.8% more for train travel next year. This cannot continue! Much needed rail investment will mean little if no one can afford to take the train.

This says the Penistone Line (Sheffield - Huddersfield) runs through "Last of the Summer Wine country" (ie Holmfirth) and "the Pennines" (goes nowhere near either). Written by AI? Who knows. If you really want to know, there's a book "Along the Penistone Line' by Peter Thomas which is great.
