Notes :
(1) NR Timings show train reversing at Millburn Jn and sitting at Rose Street for 30 minutes before returning to Inverness station - was this just an ECS move within the 1Z21 headcode?
(3) Assumed train set-back into Dufftown platform at Keith?
(3) Confirmation of which loco led each section is required.
