44? | Leicester - (via MML?) - Wellingborough |
Notes :
(1) Route confirmation between Wellingborough and Narborough is required (both
ways). Use of the Nuneaton station avoiding line on the return leg is assumed
(confirmation therefore would be appreciated).
(2) Howard Parker comments: Totnes was advertised as an alternative
destination. My notes state that the train was booked to start at
Wellingborough, picking up to Leicester where the loco ran round. Also that a
connecting DMU ran Burton on Trent – Derby – Nottingham - Loughborough -
Leicester (and return afterwards) but this cannot be confirmed. Westerns seen
were 1005, 1008, 1012, 1036, 1037, 1041, 1047, 1056, 1058, 1059, 1065, 1068,
1070.
