    At Mirfield it goes back to how it was before. (4 track before they lifted one track). Mirfield station extended to how it was in a way, with longer platform east of station lane, like it used to be, but will be more modern when done, posh shelters and lifts.

      The ability to move a factor more passengers will be the result when done in comfort ( people sat instead of stood) Longer, faster and more frequent trains basically. Thats why two extra and straighter tracks where possible. New signalling. Longer and more platforms. and finally new trains.. voila!

    The ability to sneak up on people with that cannot be understated, I was expecting more traction motor and gear noise, that's silky smooth. Definitely different from the diesel version, but I could see a battery electric shunter like that being very handy in certain situations, like using it inside a poorly ventilated space.
