View northward, on the WCML out of Carlisle, with the main (ex-Caledonian) line curving below the West Walls and under the Viaduct Bridge. By 1960 the 'Thames-Clyde Express' (London St Pancras - Leeds - Glasgow St Enoch) was being hauled for a year or two on the Glasgow - Leeds stretch by ex-LNER A3 Pacifics transferred to Leeds (Holbeck) Depot: here it is No. 60088 'Book Law'.
