Notes :
(1) 67008 on rear.
(2) Due to the late arrival of the stock from Wembley Yard the train started at
Finsbury Park rather than Kings Cross as booked.
(3) 66094 on rear.
(4) 66153 on rear.
(5) Was booked via York station but took the station avoiding line.
(6) Howard Parker comments: Durham was an alternative destination for those not
wanting the Forgotten Tracks section of the tour. The additional stop at
Doncaster on the return was for a crew change, as the booked one at York didn’t
happen.
