?67028? Harrogate - (reverse of outward route) - Church Fenton - (1) - Swinton - (reverse of outward route) - Sheffield - (1) - (reverse of outward route) - Coventry

Notes :
(1) Route confirmation between Church Fenton & Swinton and Sheffield & Chesterfield is required - was booked reverse of outward but TRUST timings suggest the train may have been diverted (via ECML & Doncaster then Dore?).
(2) Peter Hall comments: I have in my Dore notes for this date 67028 passing through Dore in the direction of Chesterfield at 21.30 on the Northern Belle. This appears to fit the description of 1Z81 Harrogate-Coventry on this page.
