North Country Continental diversion

[beejay]

I previously posed this request for info. back in mid December under the subject 'Lincoln's Boat Train'. However I came into that post very late and, having had no luck, I thought it may have been missed by anyone with information. I am, therefore, asking the question again and hope someone will come up with answers.

Having lived at various points along the LDECR all my life, I have always had an interest in this ‘not too interesting railway’.
However back in the late 50’s - early 60’s, during the Brittania haulage period, our train spotting days were brightened up by the passage of the ‘North Country Continental’!
The train was diverted over the LDECR from, I think, Beighton through to Pyewipe Junction, missing out its Worksop stop. (I think it was due to bridge repairs between Sheffield and Worksop)
I have put these questions, a number of times, to various people over the years and had no success with answers.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?!!

The questions are:-
When was it?
For how long?
Had it ever happened before?
What locos were involved?
Did it stop at, maybe, Edwinstowe in lieu of Worksop?
ARE THERE ANY PHOTOS OUT THERE?

I’ll be very pleased, and surprised, if I get any answers.
Regards to all,
Bob
