Notes:
(1) For optional trip to TVT (Trains á Vapeur de Touraine). A one-way trip over the line was made with steam loco 3716 (of 1910 vintage).
(2) John Broderick's tour brochure carries a hand-written note above the Monday 12th June timing schedule to the effect that 231G 558 failed (doesn't say where or when). The note then goes on to state electric loco 22390 to Le Mans and 67333 from le Mans. Confirmation is required that 231G 558 did not participate in hauling the train on the 12th June (as has been assumed in the tabulation above).
(3) Route & loco confirmation required - above is from booked timings.
