Does anybody do this?

If so, how do you find it andwhat happens when they change timetables around?

Does it still link in with the Virgin trains?

Thanks

I commute to just outside Leeds by car every day from Walkley. Takes about an hour.

Train takes nearly TWO hours, plus there's the extra time and hassle of getting to the station and from the station to work.
