Notes :
(1) Propelling move.
(2) Alan Osborn comments: If I recall correctly due to length of tour train
blocking in DVR's own stock at Buckfastleigh, the tour train was split and
coaches at the Totnes end ran a couple of return trips to Totnes Riverside as
their service trains.
(3) Route confirmation required - though above is believed to be correct.
