Notes:
(1) A joint venture between The Branch Line Society and Chiltern Railways, in
aid of The Royal
British Legion.
(2) Royal British Legion Family Fun Day at The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre -
The Royal British Legion will be taking over the site for their Centenary
Celebrations (100 years since the end of WWI).
(3) Booked to reverse at Claydon L.N.E. Jn but reversed at Calvert North G.F. as
main object of Trip 2 was to cover the Waste Terminal lines, which we did
extensively resulting in running a little late, all other Trips reversed at
Claydon L.N.E. Jn.
