67029 Humberstone Road Jn - Leicester - Kettering - (reverse of outward route) - Mill Hill Broadway (3)

Notes :
(1) 99405 only in the formation when 60009 was on the train.
(2) Late departure from York blamed on the stock arriving late however Peter Lawrence confirms the stock was retimed to 5pm due to the late arrival into York but though the stock was in with plenty of time to spare, departure was delayed waiting the return of 60009 after servicing.
(3) Train terminated at Mill Hill Broadway on the return leg.
(4) Loco change reported took place at Humberstone Road (as booked) by Peter Lawrence who was on the train however TRUST reports the loco change as having taken place in Leicester station - confirmation/third opinion anyone?
