Peak No. 36, an early example with a split centre head-code box, pulls away from the Chinley stop on 21 September 1971 with the 08:35 St. Pancras to Manchester Piccadilly. The time is just after 12:30, signifying a protracted journey from London, but for anyone who was determined to depart from St Pancras rather than Euston, the journey could be cut by half an hour by using the down Thames-Clyde Express and changing at either Leicester or Chesterfield.
