Notes :
(1) Originally uploaded as running on June 15th, in error. Booked consist was 7x
20 ton brake vans.
(2) Loco propelling.
(3) Bernard Mills gave the reversal point as Cattewater Jn rather than Plymouth
Friary Yard per the STN - confirmation is therefore required as to reversal
point.
(4) D2178 reported failed at Millbay Docks. In the STN it was stated once at
Millbay Docks; 'thence to West Wharf and return' - did this happen or did the
failure of D2178 curtail this movement?
