Notes :

(2) Route & loco confirmation required. On arrival at Whitby, the
train and B1 61069 were dragged by the station pilot to Prospect Hill Junction,
from where 61082 was double-headed by Class 4 80119 along the tortuous coastal
route to Scarborough. It is likely 80119 was added at Whitby Town.
