(1) As this advertised outing does not actually include any railways it strictly
does not qualify for inclusion on this Website, however it has been recorded for
posterity as it was organised by a recognised railtour organiser. The cruise was
to be made on British Waterways Luxury Motor Vessel 'Water Prince' which had
comfortable seating and all-weather accomodation for over 50 passengers. The 7½
hour cruise was by river and canal via the rivers Aire and Calder and the Air
and Calder Canal and Selby Canal...a total distance of about 30 miles by water.
