Notes: 
(1) Following on from the 'Merry Wherry' charter the previous day, the loco and coaching stock were originally required to be at Wembley on Sunday evening, so the opportunity had been taken to provide an excursion raising funds for Martin House Children's Hospice. The requirement for the stock to be in London was cancelled & thus the Sunday positioning move was also cancelled.
