Notes :
(1) 99312 was only in the consist when 45699 was on the train.
(2) 47832 & 57314 reported running top-n-tail. Confirmation required as to which led each leg. Photographic evidence on the Internet seems to suggest 47832 leading from York and also into Hellifield where it is then also photographed 'running round'. A further photo shows 47832 leading at Cononley but unclear if this is in the morning or evening.
