Wortley Junction

Preserved Black 5 No. 5305 sets off from Leeds on 30 April 1977 and takes the Harrogate line at Wortley Junction on the loco's first public outing after restoration to main-line running order by the Humberside Locomotive Preservation Group. The 4-6-0 worked the railtour (organised by the HLPG) through to Scarborough and is thought to have brought it back to Leeds, although it had only been advertised to do so as far as York (with thanks to Vic Smith).
