Notes

A right time departure from Carlisle, but time was lost as the train was required to check for icicles in the tunnels and then report to signal boxes. Signal box stops were made at Low House, Appleby, Kirkby Stephen, Garsdale & Blea Moor. At Hellifield, the water supply was partially frozen resulting in an additional stop at Cherry Tree to top the locomotives up.
