29th May 1987

Traintours
(Day Excursion)

The running of this train on this date has been challenged - 40122 was working elsewhere.

Locos Used 40122 & 47005

Route : 1L00 throughout

Loco Route
47005 Oldham Mumps - Rochdale East Jn - Rochdale - Miles Platting - Manchester Victoria - Bolton - Preston - (via WCML) - Carlisle
40122 Carlisle - Settle - Hellifield - Daisyfield Jn - Blackbun - Bolton - (reverse of outward route) - Oldham Mumps

Notes:
(1) Harry Harper states that the above train did not run on this date - he was enjoying haulage with 40122 on Holyhead to Cardiff & return services which it hauled from and back to Crewe on this day. Confirmation of the running date for the above is therefore required.
