14th September 1958

Stephenson Locomotive Society (Midland Area)
Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway

Route :

(1) Tour also scheduled to have run on the 21st & 28th September. The route/traction details above and timings below are as given for 21st September but it is believed the same itinerary applied to all three trips. WD188 was known to also have worked on this date.
(2) At Kinnersley Junction (originally Kinnerley) half the participants went on a shed and works tour followed by refreshment whilst the other half travelled to Criggion and back. Once the Drewry Railcars returned the groups swapped and and the Railcars made a further trip to Criggion.

John Debens questions, based on the above ticket and an adult one in his possession both being without numbers, if the train actually ran on this date?
