The open section of this route starts in Garforth following a disused railway line.
The route is proposed to continue on the railway path to the River Aire on the north side of Castleford and then follow the riverbank as far as the A1(M), then taking you alongside this road. From here it is planned to continue alongside the B6136 to Ferrybridge from where it follows the Aire and Calder Navigation to the outskirts of Knottingley. A second proposed spur will follow the River Aire towards Castleford Rail Station.
