Notes :
(1) Originally uploaded as run by the R.C.T.S. but revised after sight of a tour timing sheet which confirms the promoter to be the A4PS. Did the R.C.T.S. have a block booking on this train?
(2) Coach allocations were as follows;
A (BSO) for tape recorders
B (TSO) for Leeds passengers
C (TSO) for York passengers
D (TSO) for York and Newcastle passengers
