Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required - above is from booked timings. John A. Thickitt
comments: 'the loco's number (at least from Chesterfield) was 6791?'. John also
adds: The reason for the 10 minute stop at Carlisle is not stated. This suggests
a loco change to me, but I don't remember. Likewise, neither is the reason for
the Annan stop explained (I could speculate that it was a single line
crossing-point, but I don't know).
