Notes :
(1) 47593 on rear.
(2) 47712 on rear.
(3) The outward leg of the tour was heavily delayed at Poole, due to the mark 3 coach being out of gauge with long swing link bogies. These are banned on the SW main line, due to the risk of hitting the third rail. 11082 was removed from the consist at Poole. It was eventually taken away from Poole to Southall by 47810 on 15/07/24.
