Notes:
(1) Tour timing sheet and other sources refer to this as 'The South Yorkshireman No.8' however the ticket suggests otherwise? Tour timing sheet was dated 16th September, but crossed-out and with a hand-written 7th October above it. A covering letter however gave revised timings for part of the tour; where superseded the original 16th September times are shown below within { } brackets. The timing sheet seen by the Webmaster also had all booked times amended from the Carlisle departure time onwards. It is unconfirmed if these were amended on the day as they were not recorded different according to the other printed data associated with the date change.
