Crewe - Derby Loco Hauled

From the May timetable change the service over this route was recast to allow the bulk of the hourly frequency service to be covered by three intensive Sprinter diagrams. Some turn rounds were as little as four minutes. But in a last minute change of plan, two Sprinter diagrams became loco hauled. Though this route had featured hauled trains on many days during the previous winter, these are thought to be the first regular, albeit short lived, to be booked over the route, excluding summer dated seaside trains, since steam days.
