Notes: 
(1) 66010 on rear.
(2) 66955+70016 on rear.
(3) 60092 on rear.
(4) 10255 propelling.
(5) 66198 on rear.
(6) 66094 on rear.
(7) Departed late from Belmont Yard due to a broken down freight train blocking in the E.C.S. The decision was made to omit Selby Canal Curve & the planned reversal into the Engineers Dn Sidings at Thirsk to save some time & preserve the main elements of the itinerary, namely Hartlepool & Lackenby. More time was then lost waiting for the permission to run through York Yard North.
