Re: Easter 1969 Part 1

Roger,
4912 obviously required a return visit to Cardiff a few months later, as I
noted it at Gosford on Thur, 5/6/69.
It arrived on a Up Goods at 2AM, 'leading' 4439.
4622 was attached, as the Banker.
It then departed at 2.25AM, as 4622+4912+4439.
All engines were powering !!
