Notes: 
(1) Joint Venture between Branch Line Society & South West Trains raising funds for the Railway Benefit Fund.
(2) Train formed of the two Class 455 EMUs that were used as the test bed for the new Vossloh Kiepe three phase AC traction motor project.
(3) From the start of the Tour until Hampton Court, all passengers conveyed in the leading unit only, (5870), for the ease of ticket checks & the selling of raffle tickets. This meant everybody could be at the 'correct' end for Clapham Yard.
