30th August 1959
Stephenson Locomotive
Society
(Visit to Doncaster and York with Midland Compound No. 1000)
Originally advertised to have run on June 14th but postponed for reason(s) unknown to 30th August.
Loco(s) Used | at least MR 1000 |
Route : M985 throughout
Loco(s) | Route |
????? | Birmingham New Street - Derby Midland - Sheffield Midland - Doncaster - York |
????? | York - Pontefract - Sheffield Midland - Derby Midland - Birmingham New Street |
Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required - was 1000 used
throughout? Understood to have been
1000's first official mainline trip since restoration. Photographic evidence
from various locations on the outward and return leg all show the headcode
carried as M985, so it seems safe to assume this was used throughout.
