04/11/1945 Swindon Station On 4/11 the L.N.E.R. working from Sheffield was K3 17. The engine remained in Swindon and has since entered Works with a hot box on one of the trailing coupled wheels. G.W. Castle 4083 worked back on the L.N.E.R. turn though presumably only, as far as Banbury. On 11/11 5507 was noted; otherwise the workings have been in the hands of B17 locomotives for the last few months. SLS/194601
09/08/1958 DarnallMPD Dll 62662 Prince of Wales is ex-works fully lined out and kept smart in contrast to the other D1 ls (62660/1/4-70) at this shed. All the D11s in the south are now on the GC section; in addition to Sheffield -Nottingham locals (a Staveley one even works to Leicester) they also work locals to Lincoln. SLS/195809
02/05/1959 Staveley MPD (41H) ex GCR 62665 has gone from store to Gorton Works for overhaul; 62663 is back at work on the GC line (Sheffield-Nottingham-Leicester). D11s still stored on 2nd May are 62660/1/6/9. Three diesel shunters from 41A shunt in the yards here. SLS/195907
