Wakefield Kirkgate station, still with plenty of Steam, 1966
View westwards, towards Bradford, Halifax and Manchester by the ex-L&Y lines, also Leeds by ex-GNR via Wakefield Westgate. Yet another of the countless ex-WD 2-8-0s, No. 90076, runs through tender-first on empties to the collieries, while at the Up main platform is BR Standard Britannia Class 7MT 4-6-2 No. 70044 'Earl Haig' (built 6/53, withdrawn 10/66 - three months after this and it had already lost its name-plates).

Departure for London
Wakefield Kirkgate Station was once served by a number of important Transpennine express services, but is now unstaffed and relegated to local services - until the introduction of the Grand Central express service between Bradford and Kings Cross. Despite the more frequent service from Westgate Station to London there was healthy number of passengers boarding here.
