On Saturday, 12th February, 1949, six special trains took 3,000 Yeovil supporters to Manchester for a fifth round FA Cup tie against Man Utd at Maine Road (Old Trafford was still bomb damaged).
Presumably they departed from Yeovil Town station or maybe were split between Town & Pen Mill, but does anyone have any idea what route would have been used? Or would six trains have had to be sent over different routes? And which terminus would have been used at Manchester?
Any thoughts as to what locos were likely to be used where?
