Notes :
(1) Gareth Kelly comments: the return leg was terminated at Peterborough as planned, passengers could use at least First Capital Connect Services southbound with their charter tickets.
                          6233 and ECS was moved by diesel from Peterborough to Butterley, surprisingly not visiting the Nene Valley Railway due to reason I can't recall.
