Views of Wakefield Kirkgate station, the entrance to the station by the Duchess of Sutherland, and the steam locomotive leaving the station, in the distance an Inter City service passes overhead on the line to Wakefield Westgate.

  • This station needs to be manned when these come through. So many people ignore the signage! Have you seen them off the end of platform 2??

  • There were 3 Network Rail bods there in orange boiler suits, they didn't seem too bothered.

  • i am strongly of the opinion that the duchess of sutherland is the very finest steam locomotive bar none, and we are so very lucky to be able to see her at her finest in the 21st century

  • the dutchess rules ok

  • Spotted her at Crewe, today, at the head of a couple of coaches. She sloped-off before could get off the 350 I was on and go and have a look. The old girl can move when she wants to! According to the guard of the 350 she'd been around Crewe for a couple of days....

  • pray you never have to use this station......what a dump it is!

  • Lovely Steam Locomotive, but awful, and dangerous, station.

    Wakefield Kirkgate either needs levelling or having serious money spent on it. Theres supposed to be a london express service starting next year which passes through it.

    Many unmanned stations are just too dangerous to use alone, especially at night or in winter.

  • I was on the platform the day this came in. Wasn't expecting this while waiting for my train.

  • They were maintenance and have no concern with trespassers. You were not in the wrong. Great video by the way!
