The September 1961 to June 1962 WTT shows three type of local passenger services:

In most cases I have found, "AT" services seem to be on lines with cruel gradients and long tunnels which would certainly be a point in favour for early conversion to diesel operation.
Almost all services on the Hope Valley line are also shown as "AT" at this date (but not on Sundays it seems) and I'm wondering what locos would have operated these. It looks like all but one were served from the Sheffield end (one seems to outstable at Chinley overnight) so the best offering I can come up with is English Electric Type 1s or Brush Type 2s from Darnall shed. Can anybody confirm or disprove this?

- DMU operations
- Unspecified operations, which would normally indicate steam-hauled services
- Trains marked "AT" (accelerated timings)
