Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required - above is from booked timings. 60163 is
reported to have failed at Canterbury West with suspected leaking stays so the
return was worked by a diesel (and may not have reversed at London Victoria as a
result). 60163 plus its support coach ran as 5Z30 to Hither Green for
examination.
