Loco Route
44932 Swanage - Corfe Castle - Worgret Jn - Poole - Bournemouth - Brockenhurst - Redbridge - Southampton Central - Northam Jn - Eastleigh - Winchester - Basingstoke - Farnborough (Main) - Woking - Byfleet & New Haw - Addlestone Jn - Virginia Water - Staines - Feltham Jn - Twickenham - Richmond - Barnes - Clapham Junction - Queenstown Road (Battersea) - London Waterloo
44932 London Waterloo - (reverse of outward route) - Barnes - Brentford - Feltham Jn - (reverse of outward route) - Swanage

Notes :
(1) 44932 replaced unavailable 34067 'Tangmere' and the train was originally advertised to start/finish at London Paddington.
(2) One NR timing sheet seen by the Webmaster gave the return leg as 1Z92 however this is believed in error as the light-engine and ECS moves associated were 0Z96/5Z96 which tied in with another NR timing sheet which gave the return leg as 1Z96.
