Notes :
(1) Banked from Bromsgrove to Blackwell by 37273 + 37294; however Andy Pullar has the bankers recorded as 37273 & 37296 thus confirmation of the use of 37294 as currently uploaded is required.
(2) For DMU shuttle connection to Shildon for the Shildon 150 Cavalcade.
(3) Outward leg originally uploaded as hauled by 46009 but believed in error by Andy Pullar who has the outward loco recorded as 46005 and believes he is still able to recall from memory that a different loco was used each way.
