Notes: 
(1) A special charter train organised by Alan Spencer, supported by The Locomotive & Carriage Institution and operated by The Rail Operations Group.
"Primarily this First Class train is being run for invited guests and friends & family to celebrate Alan’s 70th birthday, however, a small number of Standard Class carriages have been added to the formation to enable as many people as possible to enjoy the day with Alan".
(2) 37884 on rear.
(3) 47848 on rear.
(4) The planned ECS to the Carriage Sidings did not occur, so after all passengers de-trained, it soon became apparent the stock was staying where it was so all passengers back on & the return departed from Platform 2.
