  (*) – The MNA was a ‘shadowy’ organisation founded on a common desire to travel by train whilst avoiding paying for the privilege. On the plus side, however, on a great many ‘last’ occasions they cleaned up the locomotive involved, usually overnight prior to its final working, for the benefit of all.
