LMS Black 5 No. 44871 will be passing through West Yorkshire this Friday (17th May 2024).
The movement is in preparation for The Edinburgh Flyer, and this means that the locomotive may have a diesel locomotive on the front.
Departing Carnforth Steamtown at 06:20, the locomotive will pass through Carnforth (06:45 and 08:48), Hellifield (09:46), Gargrave (10:31), Skipton (10:39), Shipley (11:02), Castleford (12:09), Church Fenton (12:54) and York Sidings around 14:08.

Assume it must be traveling through Leeds unless the long delayed (150 years) route through Bradford has suddenly appeared?
Hi Eamon, hahahaha, I wouldn’t assume anything, twenty years ago I was desperate for a job, I had recently moved to Derby, got trained as a timetable inquiries bod…I didn’t take the job but when I was training I was shocked by the ignorance of the trainees and trainers, for that matter!!
Most hadn’t even heard of Leeds…
