THE DONCASTER DIRECTOR lZ95                     R.P.P.R.                  SUNDAY 19 AUGUST 1979

Welcome to the 'Director' - we hope you enjoy your day.  The provision of compartment stock has been a disappointment, especially with a full train.  However this has been more than made up for by a remarkable routing.  Due to Sunday engineering works we can now tell you that we will traverse freight lines at Lichfield, reverse at Derby, travel past Toton depot and on the return journey, cover freight lines from Masborough South Junction to Beighton and Tapton Junctions.  It should be a remarkable day for spotting.  Please observe the directions of stewards and do not trespass at major stations.  You must show your travel ticket to gain access to the Works - which will be by the direct bridge on the station platform.  Please do not climb on locos in the Works and abide by instructions from BREL guides and notices.  Please support the buffet car and the sales stand and ask for details of the forthcoming RPPR railtours.
