Notes :
(1) Loco propelling.
(2) At 11.35 the train went into the Depot area to be cleaned then went through
the carriage washer with people still sitting in it. Arrived back into the
platform at 12.15
(3) Brian Halford comments: I recall that the trip did not cover the Appledore
to Lydd Town Town section and accordingly ran early from Appledore back to
Victoria. (confirmed by Dick Franklin).
