Notes :
(1) The outward leg was originally advertised to pick up at Clapham Junction.
Owing to engineering works in the South West London area and on the Dudding Hill
line, this tour was diverted to pick up at Kensington Olympia before making a
circular trip around North London before joining the Midland Mainline at Carlton
Road Jn. (Original intended outward route from Hastings: Wandsworth Road -
Factory Jn - Ludgate Jn - Longhedge Jn - Clapham Junction - Barnes - Chiswick -
New Kew Jn - Kew East Jn - Acton Wells Jn - Dudding Hill Jn - Brent Curve Jn -
Hendon - Luton, then as shown).
(2) Train was delayed at Tottenham South Jn due awaiting departure of a London
Overground service to depart South Tottenham…London Overground were only
operating over the Gospel Oak to South Tottenham section of the GOBLIN Route due
to engineering works between South Tottenham and Barking which Network Rail
forgot to advertise in the paper work… leaving the tour running almost 15 late
for part of the tour shown in the timings.
