Duchess Night Owl - 29 March

[oddiesjack]

I've booked to go on the Duchess Night Owl - a loaded test run for Duchess of Sutherland.

Recently, they have added Sheffield as a pick-up point, and as a consequence, this has left me wondering about the route.

Does anyone know if they will run round the train with the diesel loco at Sheffield, and go down the main line to Chesterfield, or will they take the route that goes via Woodhouse and Barrow Hill to avoid the reversal?

It gives the times but does not say which route it takes from Sheffield.

I have been told that it is going via Barrow Hill and times seem to support this i.e. 41 mins to Chesterfield.
