Notes :
(1) 47832 & 57315 in top-n-tail formation, confirmation is required as to which led each leg of the trip.
(2) Route confirmation after Ferrybridge North Jn on return trip is required - was the train diverted from booked route (seems likely as an hour late running at Ferrybridge was turned into an 22mins early arrival back at Peterborough?
