Can I take a van or a motorcycle to the Settle station at BD24 9PB?

Suspension leads at 10.4% of class 4 first tests, followed by lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment at 10.1%, and brakes at 8.5%. These are class 4 figures across stations in postcode area BD, not results from Stainforth Garage alone.
