Notes :
(1) 57305 leading with 57310 on rear? Confirmation required; A photo found by the Webmaster on the Internet stated as 5Z70 Crewe to Aberdeen ECS on this date, hauled by 57310 with 57305 on rear, passing Low Gill. Assuming no loco change took place and there was no reversal of the train after the photo then the above should be correct.
