Notes :
(1) 67008 on rear.
(2) 67022 on rear.
(3) NR TRUST computer timing point used to indicate the reversal point was High Marnham however the line is only traversable to Long Lane, Tuxford (to where the line crosses the ECML; 24m 78ch) but no NR timing point is allocated to this location, hence the use of High Marnham instead.
(4) Reversal point given as 'branch' - an NR timing sheet seen by the Webmaster gave the reversal point as 'Stocksbridge Works'.
