20/03/1951 Cambridge Turns The Cambridge turns into Kings X continue to provide variety; in addition to the occasional 'Claud,' 61005 (30F) appeared on 20/3/51. Also in March both the Kl's on loan to Cambridge appeared, one of them, 62039, returned on the 12.5 Down 'buffet' and neither the driver nor fireman was in the least impressed with their charge on that schedule, and time was lost on the run.
