I was watching a video of the last train a couple of weeks ago. It was a pair of 73s topping and tailing a railtour. But which ones I don't recall.

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Was it a Railtour operated by Pathfinders?

 

[SteveyBee131]

73109 was a SWT loco for many years so I'll try that

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Off memory they were 7310x and 7313y but sorry don’t remember the last digits. Almost certainly not 7314-

How many passenger escalators are there at Leeds station?

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I'll start the bidding with eleven.

 

[xotGD]

I'll start the bidding with eleven.

Not 11.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

As Brucie might have said ... "Higher" - so how about thirteen?

 

[444045]

I think its lower with 6 ?

 

[SteveM70]

8

 

[xotGD]

No correct answer yet. @EbbwJunction1 has been the closest.

 

[444045]

Bid of 15 ?

 

[xotGD]

Bid of 15 ?

Wrong direction...

 

[444045]

Lets try 10 then ?

 

[xotGD]

Lets try 10 then ?

Ten it is! 6 to and from the platforms, plus 4 to and from the Southern Entrance. Do any stations have more?

Your turn to stand on the right and hold the handrail...

Ah, that explains it. I worked out 6 for the platforms and assumed 2 for the southern entrance (I’ve never used it)

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I thought ten, and then added one for luck .... doh!

 

[444045]

Open Floor please
