Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required. Other services ran - details required.
(2) 37162 on rear.
(3) Confirmation of this coach identity is required.
(4) This service was supposed to have been 31147+31155+31185 as far as Wolverhampton, but as there was no shunter there to remove '155/185, which it is believed were needed at Bescot, the train ran with '147 alone throughout.
(5) Uploaded originally as 1Z18, Mike Tetlow believes these were 1Z19 - confirmation required.
