Notes :
(1) NVBS have been running an annual Queen's Day trip since
the 1930's (Queen's Day is the celebration of the coronation of the Dutch
Queen). As it happens this was the Silver Jubilee of Queen Beatrix. 26
minute late departure from Apeldoorn due to late arrival of the stock from the
VSM base at Beekbergen. Arrival at Dieren was as booked at 1310. Departure from
Dieren and arrival/departure at Venlo all as booked. 10 minute early arrival
back in Apeldoorn. 6 or 7 phot stops/run pasts on VSM line were followed by
short breaks/phot stops at Nijmegen, Venlo (run round) and 's-Hertogenbosch. 8
UK cranks aboard train.
