Loco Route
55014 11.25d Edinburgh Waverley - Carlisle - York
40034 York - ?Birmingham? - ?Bristol?

Notes :
(1) Train ran via Carlisle owing to the collapse of Penmanshiel tunnel the day before. Was there a leg in the opposite direction, before (or after) this?
(2) Destined for Birmingham, but it is believed train may have been extended to Bristol (still hauled by 40034)?
