Bank Hall Locomotive Depot in 1948: two ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire engines outside the smaller through Shed: ex-L&Y 1F 0-6-0T No. 11535, fitted with dumb buffers and swinging spark-arrestor for working in the Docks; behind it is Class 30 6F 0-8-0 No. 12782. (Beyond can be glimpsed an 8F 2-8-0 with the unusual combination of 'M' as well as the BR initial '4' added to its number).

Recording Locomotive Sightings 1943 - 1968
A generation of enthusiasts recorded the movements of locomotives around the railway system. These records of visits to locomotive depots have been collected and carefully analysed to provide an overall portrait for the period 1943 to 1968. During that period of steam's final years, there was a marked change from the pre-grouping types that still found work at a few depots, to the modern BR designs that worked until the end in 1968. The handling of freight and passenger services was a major undertaking from town and cities, ports, coal mines and factories. All of it traversed the labyrinth of lines that criss-crossed the country. There were numerous 'sheds' spread throughout the length and breadth of the land that provided and serviced the vast army of steam locomotives (20,000 in 1948). Here is just a taste of that history.

Days Out No. 11 : 3rd April 1955 - Leeds & Bradford Sheds

An Aspinall 2P 2-4-2T 10855, built for the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, was seen at Low Moor on 25th May 1947.  Photo - Ben Brooksbank, licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons 2.0 licence.
This was an RCTS (The Railway Correspondence and Travel Society) trip which originated in London and travelled to the West Riding of Yorkshire. After an over-night train journey, the party assembled outside Leeds City station for a tour of Leeds and Bradford area sheds. At 6:45am, a West Yorkshire Road Car Company coach, CB1, left the station for Leeds Neville Hill shed. It returned to Leeds City station at 4:05pm.
The party travelled on the 12.05am St. Pancras to Leeds (City), an 11 coach train hauled throughout by Jubilee 4-6-0 45612 "Jamaica" of Kentish Town (14B).
