Notes :
(1) This trip was booked to run on Saturdays from 19th July to 27th September (except 2nd August). Passengers were not permitted to alight at any intermediate station except for Darlington North Road. Any passenger alighting there were instructed to use a service train to return to Darlington.
(2) Above routing suggests train was extended from Bishop Auckland to Eastgate (not shown in booked timings) - confirmation is therefore required that this happened on this date, or did the train reverse at Bishop Auckland as booked?
