Notes :
(1) Booked Clipstone West Jn to Clipstone East Jn to reverse but reversed, according to the BLS annual report, using the crossover halfway between Clipstone North (West?) Jn and East Jn. In timings tabulation below the reversal distance is 25 chains less than that shown at Clipstone East Jn, therefore 50 chains needs to be deducted for all distances thereafter.
