Notes :
(1) 66001 on rear.
(2) 60079 on rear.
(3) Booked to use the Down West Slow Lines to Doncaster R.M.T. to detach the
assist engine, however an engineering block on that section led to a re-issue of
the timings on 28th August & the Tour being routed via the Up Decoy Yard along
the Up Goods 1. Refused on many occasions before, the last use of the 'Up Goods
1' was a last-minute re-routeing of the late running 'Humber Docker' tour on
28th October 2000.
