Oh yes there is! With the Halifax portion detached, the Newcastle brake is then at the rear of the train. Upon reversal at Leeds Central, this becomes the front...
Turning brake coaches? West Riding Pullman questions...

The number of brakes is not in dispute - there is one in each portion of the train, which I would suggest are the 5th and 6th cars in the photo.

OK - good point. BUT - if there is just one brake in each portion of the train - doesn't that mean there is one brake in the Newcastle portion?Danby Wiske wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 10:22 am The number of brakes is not in dispute - there is one in each portion of the train, which I would suggest are the 5th and 6th cars in the photo.

Ah - OK. Just what I was trying to establish is whether the Newcastle portion had more than one brake - which seems we are agreed it appears not
You were quite right re Leeds reversing of course.
Many thanks for the input.
