Loco(s) Booked Route
60009 (1) Cleethorpes - Huddersfield - Chester
60009 (1) Chester - Huddersfield - Doncaster
????? (2) Doncaster - Cleethorpes

Notes :
(1) 47826 on rear.
(2) Reported as 47804 & 47826 top-n-tail but which was leading was not confirmed (that 47826 was on the rear from Chester would suggest 47804 replaced 60009 and, thus, led?).
(3) Route & loco confirmation required - seen on-time (11.09 arrival) at Huddersfield on the outward leg hauled by 60009.
