Notes :
(1) Howard Parker comments: This excursion was advertised from Nottingham,
Beeston, Long Eaton, Matlock, Matlock Bath, Belper, Derby, Burton on Trent,
Loughborough and Leicester. Leicester and Loughborough passengers travelled by
connecting DMU in both directions [Howard Parker records he travelled in 51787
outward and 53906 return], but this didn’t stop at Long Eaton so it is assumed
the main train started at Nottingham calling at Beeston and Long
Eaton. Similarly, it is assumed that Matlock line passengers travelled by
connecting DMU. Southampton, Bournemouth and Poole were all advertised
destinations.
