Thank you for the explanation. Peter -

Why did the Guard have to do all the work, holding up the drawbar with one hand and fitting the pin with the other? What were the other three men doing? Just stood watching him? I would have got that young lad down and had him hold the bar whilst I fitted the pin. This is exactly the same procedure I used when towing in broken down buses, which was always a two man job.

Thank you for correcting the spelling. I wasn`t sure of the spelling, so I checked it on the KWVR website and that is how it is spelt there. Peter

That is correct. This is an ECS movement to Leeds station. Once there, the units are split to form three different services. Peter

As SRman says it is a class 123 DMBS leading a Hull - Leeds train. There could well be a class 124 at the other end. At this time it was rare to see either of these classes as a complete train. I could never understand why. Maybe someone here has some insider knowledge as to why. I can only guess that there were more centre cars than driving ones. Peter

Three more at Marsh Lane. A 4 car 124 unit coupled to a 2 car 105 passing a HST entering Neville Hill shed. A 4 car class 108 passing the same HST which is one vehicle short of the 8 car trains on the ECML at the time. A class 104 heading for Leeds station. Peter

Here is another one, half a mile further on passing over Lockwood Viaduct. Poor quality. It is a scan of a print. I cannot find the negs. Another view of Lockwood Viaduct. Peter
