Having returned to Leeds from Kirkby Stephen on 1E65, I was aware that 47812 was hauling 91109 and set NL15 back to Neville Hill.
91109 had failed at Colton Junction at mid-day working 1Y84 and returned under its own power back into York station. The 47 was despatched from Newark to haul it via Doncaster to Neville Hill, running round at Doncaster being more operationally sensible than running round in rush hour Leeds station.
But which platform would it go through at Leeds? 9 would be good. 9 it would be.
47812 hauls 91109 through Leeds station with 5G84, 14.45 York to Neville Hill.
And Gang of Four? One of my favourite Leeds bands along with Chumbawamba, Girls at our Best, Yard Act, and The Wedding Present.
