Notes :
(1) Given as running every Saturday and Sunday between 20th June & 6th September. Contemporary sources suggest these were repeated in 1965 with photographic evidence at Woodhall Junction on Sunday 29th August 1965 (the 17.20 departure, formed a class 31 & mark 1's). The advertising flyer from 1964 also comments on there being trains to Thorne, Crowne, Althorpe & Brigg!
