With semi-fast to Bradford passing 45739 waiting to work the up Devonian.

A very fine study indeed here at Leeds with 45739 shown as waiting to work the Northbound " Devonian " onwards to the end of its run at Bradford Forster Square .
45739 is doubtless booked to replace the locomotive which has worked to here from Bristol Temple Meads and which has run up the Lickey Bank to Birmingham , and thence via Derby and Sheffield with Bristol having been the changeover point between Western and Midland Region locomotives on such workings.
