The 12.48 freight service (with a few hardy paying passengers on board) only ran from Llangollen to Glyndyfrdwy and back. Whilst waiting for the signals to allow 1450 to run around the freight wagons the driver was checking his schedule. As it happened the trip back to Llangollen would be 1450's last job of the day due to a long delay caused by signalling/token problems.
