The train operator will start introducing more six-carriage services between Leeds, Ilkley, Skipton and Bradford Forster Square this week.

And it says this will provide more than 5,400 extra seats a day for customers on weekdays and Saturdays.

All of the electric trains which run on these lines currently have three or four carriages.

But Northern is now working to ensure at least one in six of these trains has six carriages.
