Route :

Notes :
(1) Tour also scheduled to have run on the 14th & 21st 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 used on the previous two trips, was it also used on this one?
(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.
(3) Andrew Fairholm questions if the train actually ran on this date - photographic records associated with the ticket scan he believes are from 21st September and the photographer concerned was elsewhere in the country on the 28th (photographing 32449 on a special on the Kemp Town branch) leaving him to suggest the train may have been re-dated back to the 21st (or been cancelled with passengers being redirected to the week earlier working?).

From Andrew Fairholm's ticket collection.
