Leeds to Manchester is one of the most travelled routes in Yorkshire, everyday travellers from both cities travel between the two for work, business and entertainment.
Due to this, it is also one of the most crowded routes in Yorkshire as there is only one direct line to the city. The only other line passes through Bradford and takes significantly longer.
I decided it was time to check out the trains for myself and got on the Transpennine service to Liverpool Lime Street which said it would get me there in an hour. However, when I arrived at Leeds Train Station things already started to go wrong.
