Notes :
(1) Run to mark the last day of through services on the Stour Valley and the St
Ives branch lines. Tour brochure also commented 'allowing time to visit the
Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway Society's Weybourne to Sheringham
branch'. Chris Totty comments: There certainly was time to
visit the embryo North Norfolk. We went by bus to Weybourne and a couple of the
lucky ones, me included, got a trip back to Sheringham (M&GN) on the Wickham
trolley numbered M&GN 1.
