Notes :
(1) This tour provided for some mainline running behind
one of the few remaining Jubilees. Some hard running on the
return leg provided for an early arrival back at Bradford. The 1
in 70 grades on the Skinningrove branch and the 1 in 44 grades on
the Whitby line provided a healthy work out for the E.E. Type 3.
