At 6.00am on Saturday 10th December 2022, 46115 'Scots Guardsman' is briefly glimpsed crossing Leeman Road upon its departure from York heading the Railway Touring Company's 1Z18 06:00 York to Edinburgh "The Edinburgh Christmas Market" charter. The North Eastern Railway red brick buildings were associated with the locomotive running shed on the left, and on the right is the 1876-built former Coal Manager's office, house, and worker's mess room. Latterly, this building was occupied by the Locomotive Superintendent's office.

Sadly no information with this negative other than a garage called Foxtons in Yorkshire - some fairly early Lada branding here plus the great Mobil Eliot Noyes canopies and pumps. if anyone can tell me where it was that'd be great! Update - location found - here's the same spot today - looks rather different, everything demolished and replaced with high rise apartments! www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.9597782,-1.0914343,3a,75y,59.98...
Despite some modern day paraphernalia, the scene in Leeman Road has not changed too much. Add the aroma of smoke emitting from this former East Coast Main Line 'Racehorse' whilst it was standing beyond the former York motive power depot offices seen here on the left, it was easy to be transported back to what it must have been like over half a century before. 60103 'Flying Scotsman' sets back to Holgate Road in order to gain the route via platform 5 and on to Scarborough, on a 'proving run' following major overhaul and repaint/presentation into later B.R. condition.

An underpass taking Leeman Road underneath York Railway Station in York, North Yorkshire.
Despite the small size of the city, York is one of the most important railway stations on the British railway network because of its role as a key railway junction approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh. It is few miles north of the point where the Cross Country and Trans-Pennine routes via Leeds leave/join the ECML connecting Scotland and the North East with southern England, the North West and the Midlands. The junction was historically a major site for rolling stock manufacture, maintenance and repair.
The first York railway station was a temporary wooden building on Queen Street outside the walls of the city, opened in 1839 by the York and North Midland Railway. It was succeeded in 1841, inside the walls, by what is now York old railway station. In due course, the irksome requirement that through trains between London and Newcastle needed to reverse out of the old York station to continue their journey necessitated the construction of a new through station outside the walls. This was the present station, designed by the North Eastern Railway architects Thomas Prosser and William Peachey, which opened in 1877. It had 13 platforms and was at that time the largest station in the world. As part of the new station project, the Royal Station Hotel (now The Royal York Hotel), designed by Peachey, opened in 1878.
In 1909 new platforms were added, and in 1938 the current footbridge was built and the station resignalled.
The building was heavily bombed during the Second World War. On one occasion, on 29 April 1942, 800 passengers had to be evacuated from a Kings Cross-Edinburgh train which arrived during a bombing raid. On the same night, two railway workers were killed, one being station foreman William Milner (born 1900), who died after returning to his burning office to collect his first aid kit. He was posthumously awarded the King's commendation for gallantry. A plaque in his memory has been erected at the station. The station was extensively repaired in 1947.
The track layout through and around the station was remodelled again in 1988 as part of the resignalling scheme that was carried out prior to the electrification of the ECML shortly afterwards. This resulted in several bay platforms (mainly on the eastern side) being taken out of service and the track to them removed. At the same time a new signalling centre (York IECC) was commissioned on the western side of the station to control the new layout and also take over the function of several other signal boxes on the main line. The IECC here now supervises the main line from Temple Hirst (near Doncaster) through to Northallerton, along with sections of the various routes branching from it. It has also (since 2001–2) taken over responsibility for the control area of the former power box at Leeds and thus signals trains as far away as Gargrave and Morley.
