Stephenson Locomotive Society (Midland Area)
(Electric/Steam Tour)

Locos Used 70038 'Robin Hood' & AC Electric(s)

Route : 1Z15 throughout

Loco Route
AC Electric Birmingham New Street - Wolverhampton HL - Crewe - Stockport
70038 Stockport - Dunkinfield - Stalybridge - Leeds City - York
70038 York - (?reverse of outward route?) - Stockport
AC Electric Stockport - (?reverse of outward route?) - Birmingham New Street

Notes :
(1) Geoff Monks comments: There was an official visit to 50A York shed where steam had finished the previous month but there were some stored locos in the yard. I am pretty sure it was via Standedge both ways and it was a very tardy run with 70038, the brakes came on two or three times at least on the way back, presumably lack of vacuum.
