Notes :
(1) 60062 on rear.
(2) 66007 on rear.
(3) Section from Chesterfield to Blackwell South & return (13:40~14:35), although in as class one timings, was supposed to be ECS for train cleaning & watering, but due to late running this was scrapped & anybody who wanted a break at Chesterfield could do so instead of going to Rotherham Steel Terminal, returning to the Tour at 15:39.
(4) West Holmes Jn : Stopped due to incorrect route set (UGF instead of UGS).
(5) Lincoln Terrace Sidings : TrackMaps lists as Sdg.3, but MOM on site called it Sdg.1
(6) The return leg was heavily delayed due to a fatality at Stevenage. An additional stop was made at Welwyn Garden City.
(7) Tour postponed from 16/05/20 & 29/05/21.
