Notes :

Ashchurch. The return leg was delayed following a service train which had been
cautioned for 'an object on the track', believed to be a Badger, near
Ascott-under-Wychwood!
(2) The return leg was booked to be assisted by a diesel loco (47773?) from Worcester
Shrub Hill. However it is reported that this did not happen - confirmation
required.
