Notes :
(1) This was the Altrinchamian Railway Excursion Society's first railtour.
(2) Route confirmation required. The outward leg was given as
reporting code 1X59 however the photos below shows 1X50, which seems to have
been used throughout.
(3) An article published in Steam Railway (21/08/2010-17/09/2010 issue)
erroneously lists 60824 as having hauled the leg between Edinburgh and Berwick,
with 60836 taking the train on to York (Ian Griffiths, a passenger on the tour,
confirms the article to be in error).

Exchange to Wigan North Western only)
