Cleckheaton
Central shunting records 1958
Until the Beeching axe, Cleckheaton Central had a busy goods yard.
Fortunately, a number of Freight train and shunting records survive from
1958, covering the periods February 24-26, April 1-May 30 , August 2-31
and October 2-13.
The example shown is a fascinating historical document, showing the
arrival and the departure times at Cleckheaton,
the
locomotives involved: nos 52461, 44485, 90397 and 90124 as well as the
origin points and final destinations of the trains,
and the number of wagons detached at Cleckheaton Central.
The 06.00 from Mirfield to Cleckheaton which arrived at 06.40
consisisted of 30 wagons , while 14 wagons were detached from the
Sowerby to Low Moor train which arrived at Cleckheaton at 12.10

If you wanted to be in London for an early morning business appointment,
you had a choice of 3 early morning trains: the 02.32 sleeping car train

Central arrived at King's Cross at 11.02
Many aspects of our railway system have improved out of all recognition
since the 1950s, and the December 2007 timetable shows 32 through trains
between Leeds City and London King's Cross on weekdays.
The 05.05 from Leeds arrives at King's Cross at 07.30, the 0530 arrives
