- 1959 November, “Talking of Trains: Widening north of York”, in Trains Illustrated, page 518:
  When the widening is complete, the majority of the trains from Tees-side and the North which have hitherto had to be routed via the Leeds Northern line (Ripon, Harrogate and Wetherby) will be diverted over the main line via York. This avoids the necessity to provide banking engines on the Leeds Northern route and will result in speedier transit times and the more efficient and economical use of engines and train crews.
