B1 at Leeds City station
Low Moor B1 61306 has arrived at Leeds City station with the 7.55 passenger train from Bradford Exchange to London Kings Cross on 30 September 1967. This was the penultimate day of steam haulage on services between Leeds and Bradford. It was also the last day of the engine’s operational service before its withdrawal and subsequent preservation. The following day Low Moor and Leeds Holbeck sheds closed to steam and Normanton shed lost its steam allocation but remained open until the end of the year to service steam engines from other areas.
