A Class 114 DMU formed of 54025 + 53038 in platform 12 at York on 17 February 1986. It is thought to have worked the 08.42 ex Leeds via Harrogate, arriving in York at 10.01, and likely to return the same way as the 11.05 departure. 'Harrogate' was displayed on the blinds to save any confusion for the passengers with the more direct route between Leeds & York. Rob Paterson.
