Castleford is also home to a Yorkshire Electricity Depot. They handle repairs over approximately one 12th of the whole Yorkshire Electricity region, so if you live in Wakefield or Pontefract, when your power goes off, the repair men have to come all the way from here.

you're probably right. i wouldn't know, i live in west sussex. Jaguar.

You ought to get out more!

I know these things through having a job with said company. I didn't read the article then go and look up Castleford in some irritating guide book to see what possible details had been missed off.

Well thanks for explaining your summer job!

Also, I seriously doubt if there are any guide book references to Castleford other than "depressed former mining village."

Summer job? SUMMER JOB? Do you think I'm some kind of student or something? (checks homepage) OK, I am a student, but stop jumping to conclusions...


I was at YE for nearly a year (and in Castleford for 2 weeks, in the winter). So there.
