Notes :
(1) The loco used on this tour, numbered as 2222, was in fact 2217 which had
been temporarily renumbered 'in the interests of symmetry' (i.e. with 5555 also
being used).
(2) Passengers not wishing to attend the AGM were able to travel the Talyllyn
Railway. At least 1 'Talyllyn' and 4 'Edward Thomas' were working trains.
