Notes :
(1) The original advertised route to Union Dock was to have been Grimsby Town - Cleethorpes Road Jn - Union Dock (and back by same route) but this was altered prior to the tour as BR decided the line between Union Dock and Cleethorpes Road Jn was not available for passenger trains. Prior to the alteration BR had refused to allow the train to traverse the line between Union Dock and West Marsh Jn, claiming 'the line no longer exists'.
(2) Reversal point in tour brochure was West Marsh Jn however in the copy seen by the Webmaster this has been crossed out and 'Great Coates Sdg No.5' written in its place (at least, it looks like a 5). It is believed the latter location means the train passed West Marsh Jn before reversing, but this needs confirming.
