Notes :
(1) Tour was to have run in memory of Rail Blue Charters' Commercial Director,
Mark Honey, who lost his fight with cancer just before Christmas 2010. From the
Rail Blue Charters Website: 'We sincerely apologise for the late cancellation of
this train. Unfortunately, our kitchen carriage became unserviceable at the last
moment. We took the decision to postpone the train to ensure that you, our
valuable guests, receive the service you are entitled to onboard. This decision
was not taken lightly as you can appreciate this was the Memorial Train for one
of our directors. At the moment we do not have a firm date yet'.
