Loco(s) Route

Notes : 
(1) The late start from Bristol Temple Meads was due to moving 33207 from the rear of the train to pilot 5029, due to risk of lineside fires in hot weather. It then rained!
 (2) 5029 was then removed from the train at Yeovil Pen Mill, to allow time for servicing and turning at Yeovil Junction.
