The class 320, '321, '322 and '456 are all of the same design family

No 3rd rail though, so definitely a bit silly!

Leeds has had rolling stock from London. No third rail there either!

South of the Thames is 3rd rail territory, there are a handfull of dual voltage types that can operate between the 25Kv overhead wires anywhere north of London and the 750 Volt DC third rail south of the river, but mostly are not dual voltage, so can only run in certain areas

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Class 319s were sent north recently, and these are some of the dual voltage stock.

The others are: Class 313, '375, '377 and '378.

Leeds have had 3 class 321s working your area for years anyway.

The only red trains operating out of Leeds go via Shipley.

West Yorkshire PTE now Metro.

Well, the class '321s operated to Donny at one point. Where from, you will know better,
but, basically, they aren't class 333s!!

Bradford possibly?

Bradford possibly?

Forster Square via Shipley.
New track laid, then they found out they couldn't use the platforms One & Three. Coaches were too long for the curved platform at Shipley. So new track laid again, now too high for the platform and there's a gap big enough to fit through in parts.


That's where "Deltic" was tested round here. Triangular station.

I called in at the York Model Railway Society's Easter show at the racecourse today.

The large class 08 shunter is 10mm:1ft i.e. 2.5 times bigger than the OO gauge version that it's dwarfing.

I've seen 322's at Skipton, Leeds and Doncaster... (I know, they're not 321's)

I've seen 322's at Skipton, but no 321's.
