Class 91 in Bradford Forster Square Station 07/89 Departs with 47650 hauling maybe the last one.

A great InterCity station

[@transportinterests5371]

Yes, was at one time!

Now it's all just 333s. Not the most diverse of stations.

I was aware that until the Bradford Electrification was completed that diesel locos pulled the London InterCity trains between Bradford FS and Leeds. Surprised to see a HST power car doing the job, also surprised not to see a DVT. Was even more surprised to see a diesel loco used to pull the whole train out of FS. I take it that the HST/91 couldn't work in reverse?

[@NSporsche]

The 43 was in effect a driving trailer which was idling and only providing power for the coaches. reason was due to late delivery of the Mk4 stock. (I got this from: www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-91-43-late-1980s-formations.141904/).

So it is true they used Class 91's with MK3's and a Class 43. I honestly thought that was a load of nonsense haha.

[@cedarcam]

Yes as you see it is true. I have a photo taken at Leeds of one running blunt first on a train of MK2 stock. Not sure why that was but I know the MK4 stock was not built until after the locos came into service

[@professorjamesmoriarty5191]

When Br ran the farewell tour for tamworth castle, the train of mk1 intercity stock was taken forward by a 91 blunt end first.

Where did the pacers go?

[@transportinterests5371]

Keighley/Skipton. Ilkley or Leeds

[@shahedmc9656]

The pacer with non PTE livery may have come from Lancaster/Morecambe.

[@soulbabe79]

hmm interesting

[@soundseeker63]

Wow I have always though Bradford is a slum city but doesn't it just look it back then! The dilapidated station seems almost unworthy of such a smart new train haha!

[@NaenaeGaming]

You call Bradford a slum city... What makes you think that!

[@shahedmc9656]

It's a lot more cleaner now than in the footage!

Bradford has been a dump for many years. Mind you, most of West Yorkshire is.
