Title
Todmorden Triangle 1963. - LYR00239
Description
LYRS6018. A confusing photo! The tracks in the centre curving off to the right form the Stansfield or Todmorden Curve heading to Stansfield Hall Junction on the 'Copy Pit' line to Burnley. The line in the foreground is the spur from Hall Royd Junction on the Leeds-Manchester line up to Stansfield Hall Junction to meet the Curve.
Passenger traffic over the Stansfield Curve ceased in 1965 and the track was part lifted in 1973 and Yorkshire to Burnley trains by-pass Todmorden but it is anticipated that the Curve will be re-instated in 2013/14.
