Notes : 
(1) 37706 on rear.
(2) John Clifford comments: This was the second of two tours on this day to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. The original plan was to use 'Princess Royal' class no. 6201 'Princess Elizabeth'. Its overhaul was not finished, so 45699 'Galatea' was substituted. However 45699 failed its 'Fitness to Run' exam before leaving its base at Carnforth, so the tour ran with diesels.
