Yorkshire pullman

[spo]

could anyone recomend where to go on-line to research this train. I stumbled across a site, a short time ago, that gave me an 11 coach consist, in 1959, but made no mention of loco, unfortunately no matter what I do, I can not find my way back to this site. Any help, guidance given would be very greatfully received. I would like to add at this time, that I am extreamly new to this method of research, (its my very 1st.time) so if I have transgressed any protocols, broken any rules, please accept my unreserved appolgies now.

You could try the BR coaching stock group on Yahoo.

There's a series in the later editions of Coupe News which lists the locos seen on the Yorkshire Pullman day by day which you may find helpful.

The following is an extract from the Summer 1958 Carriage Working and Train Formation Book:

 

5:20 pm from King's Cross (84 Down)

THE YORKSHIRE PULLMAN

 

Vehs in order from to

I doubt if the formation altered very much during the 1950s, although the individual vehicles did due repairs and maintenance.

This may be out of period for you, but there are a few photos of the Yorkshire Pullman in the relevant collections in my fotopic galleries at:

and

They might be of some use to you, perhaps.

 

I've also found this (not very good) image taken around 1951 by my late father:

I have a copy of the CWD for 1960/61 at home and in place of the 'old' style coaches it lists the stock as MkI based Pulmans. There is some interesting formations for other East Coast Pulmans in the same document.Remember that In the early 1960's the 'old' Pulman Brakes were operated until they became a bit too old and then the later diagrams feature BG's for the luggage.The full details of this CWD are available in the Yahoo BRCoach group.

Thanks Gresley, but could I ask just a couple more ?,s were the two 2nd brakes, also Pullmans, & what livery would the BCK have been ?

... were the two 2nd brakes, also Pullmans, & what livery would the BCK have been ?

The two 2nd Brakes were Pullmans. The Hull portion was detached at Doncaster. The Bradford portion was detached at Leeds Central and the BCK was an ordinary coach that was attached as this portion didn't have a brake vehicle. It would have been maroon livery.
