N.B. The up-trains from Leeds are arranged to arrive at Heaton Lodge Junction five minutes before the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company’s trains, in order that there may be sufficient time for passengers to re-book.

The WORTLEY STATION will be opened for purposes of traffic on the said 8th day of October instant.

By order,
MARK HUISH, General Manager.
