Notes :
(1) The timing sheet issued to tour participants gave the train headcode as 1Z09
however
Kenneth Gray confirms the Special Traffic Notice gave the headcode as 1Z30 and
this is backed-up by photographic evidence, being carried by the class 47 used.
(2) Train was delayed at Millerhill whilst being searched after a bomb alert.
