Grantshouse

A short down parcels train between Grantshouse and Penmanshiel tunnel in August 1971, probably the 08.35 from Doncaster to Edinburgh. This was due to pass Grantshouse at 15.30 but did not do so until 16.50 suggesting a failure of the train engine, class 40 No. 256. The class 37 is No. 6762, a Gateshead engine, which was presumably commandeered from a trip working (9B22) in the Newcastle area to assist.
