Notes :
(1) Chris Totty comments: This was the year of the foot and mouth crisis and the
Irish Government would not allow any non essential traffic over the land
boundary from Northern Ireland. (Surely railtours are essential?) So the RPSI
had to rearrange the annual International Tour to be a tour of NIR.
