Notes :
(1) Si Carter comments: it was a catalogue of errors - actually. 40013 was originally
booked from Birmingham but failed. 035 was scrambled from CD to take over from
the 47 but was removed at Stockport after her boiler failed (it was a very cold
day). 028 came from Longsight to carry on. She didn't have enough fuel to
return all the way to New St though - hence 47146.
