Notes :
(1) Peter Darke has a photo in his collection showing 69441 at Marylebone so it
appears this loco started the tour. Order in which locos were used believed to
have been: 69441, 69481, 40037 & 45277 although newly received photographic
evidence (see below) suggests 69481 was the last used, back into Broad Street.
