Further Notes
ACD - Mon 11/09/1939 - CPLGB; RPSGB. No Sunday service, LTR - Sat 09/09/1939.
PNM 1980 p85 gives OCD - Sun 10/09/1939. DSW gives both! The Spilsby to Firsby Railway LP154 OP 1985 p41 states "The branch closed to passengers on the 10th September, 1939, the service "suspended", presumably for the duration of the war".
It would appear that what was intended as a TCD became an OCD, but the ACD was actually the next day! Got that?
