Please note that the numbers of trips shewn for drivers is calculated from the locomotive running sheets as transferred to computer by Don Newing. This method results in the inclusion of steam-hauled engineering trains. Also included are footplate experience trains, the increasing number of which will distort comparisons with earlier years and between Drivers and Passed Firemen.
