(1) Vivian Jones comments: This excursion was to permit participants to visit Bristol Zoo. I have two photos of this loco and train at and departing from Clifton down (it departed towards Sea Mills and would have gone via Henbury to Patchway and onward back to South Wales. Headcode shown was 1C60 but I suspect should have been 1Z60.
