Loco Route

47245 Par - (reverse of outward route) - Bristol Temple Meads

Notes : 
(1) It was reported that 60009 'Union of South Africa' was due to work this train but failed the previous afternoon in the Hereford area whilst en-route to Bristol. As a result 47245 was used as this had brought the stock down from Southall on the Saturday. It will be noted that the tour ran very early on the return as a result of not having to make any water stops.
