Historical Background

Introduced in 1937, the West Riding Limited was created following the success of the LNER's prestigious Coronation service. Operating between London King's Cross and Bradford, the train featured streamlined articulated coaches designed to improve ride quality and reduce rolling resistance by sharing bogies between paired coaches.

The train's inaugural run achieved an impressive average speed of 63.3 mph and was hauled by the famous LNER A4 Pacific locomotive Dominion of New Zealand. Following suspension during World War II, services resumed in 1949 and the route continues to be served by modern LNER trains today.
