united at last
C40CWT operated the last ever united journey on the 36. There was a time in the not so recent past you needed a tripod and a couple of minutes for night photography. Here 1325 waits on the layover bays ready to work the 21.45 to Ripon complete with "last united 36" notice in the windscreen. Interesting to see the Olympian & lynx on late west riding duties..it was a Leyland full house that night ! Perhaps the driver was reflecting on the fact he wouldn't work into Leeds with united ever again...looks like the wife had tagged along for company too ! Sad time...but Harrogate & District ran all journeys from the following day. The united 36 diagram was the prime reason for buying the ripon depot operation, the other work slowly drifted away. Imagine leaving Ripley with that TL11 on the last Ripon... “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” Voltaire. . .
