I am puzzled by the references in Mail List messages to Trains Nos. 75  and 
76 on the Durham line.  I checked operating timetables in our  archives in the 
1930's, 1940's and 1950's without finding any such train  numbers on the 
Durham line.  During those decades, the local freights  were Nos. 71 and 72.
 
Operating Timetable No. 7 Effective Wednesday, August 4, 1954 (about 3  weeks 
before passenger trains were replaced with mixed trains) lists local  
freights Nos. 71 and 72.  Supplement "A" Effective 12:01 AM Sunday,  August 29, 1954, 
lists first class mixed trains Nos. 71 and 72.  In none  of these sources is 
there mention of Nos. 75 and  76.



You are correct.  It was trains 71 and 72.  My mistake. Thank you  for 
pointing this out.
