Notes:
(1) Two
round trips took place on the day.
(2)
During the layover the stock and locos were also used
for "The Bombardier" tour.
(3) Robin Webster comments:
As in previous years, one loco per train, the other following light engine.
However, at least on the up train I was on, the light engine did not follow the
same route but went direct Pitsea - Upminster and so arrived at Barking first
and was waiting across the platform to follow us.
