Notes :
(1) This was a free trip laid on after the chaos at
Coalville Open Day in May. The headboard on 47976 carried the name 'The Coalville Cobbler' but 58042 had
'The Denby Phoenix'.
(2) 58042 on rear.
(3) 47976 on rear.
(4) Routing originally was via Melton
Mowbray & Corby (with the 58 being dropped at Leicester) but this didn't happen, instead
the 47 was dropped off at Derby.
