Notes :
(1) Howard Parker comments: Leeds was an advertised alternative destination to
York. The minor delays incurred on the return was caused by having to draw up at
Belper, Long Eaton, Beeston and Loughborough. Passengers were not allocated
seats in a particular coach, so it wasn’t known which part of the train should
stop in these short platforms.
