Kensington Olympia - (reverse of outward route) - Watford Junction - Bletchley - Northampton |
Notes :
(1) 47802 on rear.
(2) 47712 on rear.
(3) Booked to start at Northampton but started from Watford Junction due to an
obstruction on the line (two containers blown off a Fastline Train at Leighton
Buzzard).
(4) Originally uploaded with 47802 leading the first leg, 47712 the second etc
however photographic evidence since supplied by Alan Costello shows that the
locos leading the legs to/from Weymouth were in fact the other way round so it
is assumed (confirmation required) that the first and last legs were also the
opposite to that originally uploaded.
