Notes :
(1) 25286 on rear.
(2) 25200 on rear.
(3) John Harrup comments: on the return trip from Maxwelltown the train was held
for over an hour at Dumfries (Maxwelltown Goods Jn) awaiting a path onto the
single line resulting in a late arrival at Carlisle. To make up time, permission
was given for the pair of 20s to return via the WCML rather than the S&C as
booked. Unable to work in Multiple due to a fault, so worked in tandem. Very
exhilarating ride over Shap resulting in a slightly early arrival at Wigan North
Western!!
