Cycling is a sport about which I know nothing… Actually all sports fall into that category if I'm honest but even I hadn't failed to notice that the Tour de France was coming to Yorkshire this weekend.
As the roads will be crammed with folk wearing lycra Northern Rail have put in place additional train services and a special 'Le Yorkshire' ticket for the weekend.
They've also adorned a number of DMUs with 'Gearing up for the Tour' logos as seen here at Sheffield on Class 144 DMSL 55829 (144006) forming the 09.06 service to Leeds on 2 July.
I can't help but wonder what visitors to the area will make of Northern's fleet of ageing Class 142s, 144s and 150s though, especially if the predicted two million spectators all want to travel by train!
