B.R.
(Merrymaker Excursion)
| Locos Used | 47138 & 45016 |
Route :
| Loco | Route |
| 47138 | Cleethorpes - Lincoln - Newark Castle - Nottingham - Trent Jn - Sheet Stores Jn - Castle Donnington - Stenson Jn - Tamworth - Birmingham New Street - Soho South Jn - Soho East Jn - Perry Bar West Jn - Perry Bar South Jn - Aston - Stechford - Birmingham International |
| 45016 | Birmingham International - (reverse of outward route) - Cleethorpes |
Notes :
47138 failed on arrival at Birmingham International, the return
being made behind 45016. The appearance of 45016 was a real surprise as the
class was rare at Cleethorpes at this time and virtually unheard of on the
Lincoln to Cleethorpes line.
