???
(Shakespeare 400th
Anniversary Special)
| Loco(s) Used | at least 35011 |
Route :
| Loco | Route |
| 35011 | Bournemouth West - ?Reading? - Oxford - Kingham - Honeybourne - Stratford-upon-Avon |
| 35011 | Stratford-upon-Avon - (?reverse of outward route?) - Bournemouth West |
Note :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required - Numerous
excursions, from all over the country, were run in connection with
the Shakespeare 400th anniversary. A published photo of 35011 leaving Stratford
on the return leg suggests the loco worked both ways however the caption of the
photo suggests the train was bound for Poole rather than terminating at
Bournemouth West as first suggested.
Confirmation is required if 35011 worked throughout on the return.
