Notes :
(1) Loco on train arriving into Aintree, is confirmation required if it worked
throughout.
(2) Return working assumed, was it worked by same loco(s) as outward?
(3) 42704 possibly worked from Midland Jn, an electric loco maybe being used
between Sheffield Victoria and Midland Jn?
(4) Locos possibly came on at Leeds City.
