Notes :
(1) 31190 on rear.
(2) 31602 on rear.
(3) Booked via Midcalder Jn - Craiglockhart Jn - Niddrie West Jn - Portobello Jn
- Edinburgh Waverley, but at the operators request it was looped at Midcalder Jn
until running 71 minutes late and diverted via Haymarket.
(4) 1H83 delayed 56 minutes at Elgin due to a points failure (unable to release
ground frame at Elgin Yard).
(5) Locos believed to have worked paired and not top and tail, but confirmation
is required.
(6) Confirmation that Garelochhead is where 31190 ran round the train is
required, but most likely as it was the only place with enough booked time to do
it.
