Notes :
(1) 90037 was declared a total failure at Lancaster.
(2) Was booked to work through to Edinburgh Waverley but train was terminated at Carlisle due to the late running. A retimed run home via the S&C was organised by way of on-the-day compensation. It is understood a re-run will probably be made.
