Morley station sign

We visited Morley station, just south-west of Leeds on the line towards Huddersfield in the middle of a hot day with the air thick with pollen.

The station is at a point where the line dives south into the Morley tunnel, so the approach roads and the road across the top of the tunnel entrance form a U-shape. A long view of the station from the top of the U:
