A really good video, I really liked the old WYPTE livery and the IC Swallow livery. Enjoyed the video and good sound quality. I have replayed, reloaded and tried the video a few times, but your sound synch seems to be out by about 8secs? Not drastic, but I thought you would prefer to know. Thanks for sharing

You are absolutely right. This is a new fault as I know for a fact it was OK when I uploaded it. It must be a "YouTube" gremlin. Thanks for letting me know about this, I will have to check some of my other clips now.

Did you see any 101s on the Skiptons and Ilkleys plus any 47s on the transpenines?

[Panarail]

101's & 47's were very commonplace back then, not to mention that the video is almost 20 years old. I honestly cannot give you an answer. Sorry.

brill footage of the old mk4 interior which lasted till 2004/5

[Panarail]

I nearly didn't include that in the clip. Didn't know they had been changed :o)

Best bit - 47418 dragging 91011 and train to Bradford Forster Sq. Believe the 'generator' was Holbeck allocated at the time.

Lovely to see the only mark 4 interior. Re 141111 at 0:433 does the destination read Hebden Bridge? I didn't think these were allowed to enter Bradford Interchange in service? Maybe that was just the original 141/0 and not the refurb? Great great vid

I travel by train to Leeds practically everyday and it's humourous to see how little has changed from 3 years before I was even born. The only difference seems to be the modern locomotives...

I used to commute to Leeds by train about this time, yes Leeds station has changed a fair bit

@encysplod They also went to Skipton as well - and that was before the Airedale line was electrified, and much longer before extra neutral zones were added to support 91's along the route!

ah now this takes me back to standing at leeds for hours on end watching all the trains coming. i remember being there for the first passenger running of the class 91. and you can't beat the class 141. i used to love riding them as a kid.

Leeds station used to be proper grim!

The 47 taking the MKIV set to out of the west end after arrival from London must have been to Harrogate - these were the only diesel-hauled legs. Bradford was operated by HST's and the northbound Harrogate service was discontinued shortly after this video
