Notes :
(1) 67024 on rear.
(2) 34067 on rear.
(3) Photographic run past for benefit of passengers. Passengers
could also stay on the train if they so wished. Originally the tour was to
include two run pasts up the Folkestone Harbour Branch, however by the time the
tickets were issued, these had been removed due to lack of time in the schedule.
However due the incident on the day (see below) the tour was re-timed and one
run past was reinstated.
(4) Dive under used at Shortlands Jn on both outward & return legs.
(5) Support Coach, only with formation when the steam loco was on the train.
(6) Engineering work in the Clapham Junction area meant that all services into
and out of Waterloo had to run via ‘Windsor’ lines. A lineside fire in the
Clapham Junction area, shortly before the trains arrival, damaged signalling
cables on these lines. All train services into and out of Waterloo were
therefore suspended and a limited service commenced, using the two available up
Windsor line platforms at Clapham Junction to terminate trains. (These restarted
in the two Down platforms once they had shunted via the Waterloo end of the
station). The tour got caught up in all this and was eventually 86 minutes late.
The return journey had to terminate on time, as engineering works at Nottingham
would close the station shortly after the tours booked arrival. Part of the tour
had therefore to be lost otherwise it would have would terminated prior to
Nottingham. As Folkestone Harbour is to close shortly, the organisers requested
that the train still ran to the Harbour and instead the tour lost the return run
to London via Ramsgate behind Tangmere.
(7) Passengers who joined at Kensington Olympia were to have left the train at
Victoria, however those passengers detrained at Clapham Junction.
