Notes :
(1) 31454 on rear.
(2) 37603 on rear.
(3) 47145 on rear.
(4) First train diverted onto Staveley Goods Line to reverse back to Barrow Hill North Jn for a further reversal onto the Barrow Hill Goods Line. This was due to a steam loco (30777) being booked to take water on the Barrow Hill Goods Line shortly before the tour was due, (11:00~11:30 on 1Z36, 'The Ebor Express' 07:09 Tyseley to York). 30777 'Sir Lamiel' had however already left by the time the tour arrived.
