Notes: 
(1) A joint venture between Govia Thameslink and The Branch Line Society raising funds for Embrace, Keech Hospice and Epilepsy Action.
(2) Original Route of "London Bridge - Peckham Rye - Tulse Hill - Streatham - Sutton - Wimbledon - Streatham - Tulse Hill - Loughborough Junction" cut back to "London Bridge - Peckham Rye - Tulse Hill P.4 - Rev @ Sig.VC.178 - Tulse Hill P.3 - Loughborough Junction" due to engineering works on Wimbledon Route.
(3) Diversion due to London Bridge Terrorist Incident the evening before & Signalling Problems at Victoria Signalling Centre.
(4) Bonus moves arranged by the West Hampstead LOM due to Victoria S.C. issues & our very early running, included a run via the Down Hendon line behind West Hampstead P4 and then across the Cricklewood South Jn ladder to the Down Slow & Cricklewood P2 & all the way to the End of Line at Cricklewood North Sidings Road 2, via Up Goods 2. Returning from North Siding Road 2, the Train used Up Goods 1 & then the Exit Road behind P1 to take the full Cricklewood South Jn ladder back to the Down Hendon.
(5) The Tour was due to terminate at Luton, but continued in service to Bedford.
