Notes :
(1) Clive Barlow comments: I have no record of the DMUs used for this one (I
know that it wasn’t loco-hauled). Almost certainly 3 x 3-car Reading based sets
as we were reserved in coach G. Although ticket shows from Reading West, I
believe that that was by connecting service on the outward.
