Disused line could become cycle path

CASTLEFORD: A new walking and cycling route could be built along a disused railway track.

Transport charity Sustrans has applied to form the route from Green Row Bridge at Methley Junction to Castleford Greenway.

The latest route would be the second phase of a project intended to connect Wakefield and Castleford for cyclists and walkers.

The plan forms part of the West Yorkshire cycling network City Connect scheme.
