One unit pairing of note – 142015+153304 on the 0827 & 1722 departures to Adwick/Sheffield – very unusual to get a pair like that at Lincoln. The 2124 was only 142015.

Oh – the third farce! It wasn’t the lack of a driver for the 1410 Lincoln-Doncaster service, and I’m not talking about either the pathing of the diversions which was always too tight (13 minute sections in part, so trains timed at 2-6 minute head-ways!), or the knock on delays to East Midlands and Northern services which appeared worse than last week.

No – I’m talking about Grand Farce (sorry – Grand Central)! 1D77 (the late evening Kings Cross-Bradford Interchange) was cancelled at Peterborough due to the conductor not signing the route via Spalding, Sleaford & Lincoln. The passen-gers were sent forward on an East Coast service to Doncaster, where they were to get off and await the 180 to take them on to stations to Bradford!

Therefore, the final entry reads:
DF 2256 180105 5D77 Peterborough-Doncaster ECS
