Notes
:
(1) Loco propelling.
(2) Problem
reversing from Brunswick Wharf to Heaths Jn for run-round - train had to be
split.
(3) Tour booked to return from Macclesfield to Ancoats Goods was :Bollington
- Rose Hill Marple - Marple Wharf Jn - Romiley - Belle Vue - Reddish North -
Ashburys but was diverted into Piccadilly and then to Ancoats via Ashburys. This
was due to the expected new crew not being available and the existing crew did
not know the route (though they volunteered to continue to get the train back).
Arrival back was approx 1 hour late.
(4) 42343 on rear.
From Bob Mitchell's ticket collection.
