Notes :
(1) 47806 failed south of Dalwhinnie at MP51¼.
47593 on a northbound sleeper pushed the train to Dalwhinnie (consist was:
47806+load 12+47593+load 14).
(2) Howard Parker comments: Existing Six Bells entry states load 12, so the
train must have split at Inverness. No other information known.
