Notes :
(1) Train terminated at Horsham on return due to engineering works,
Billingshurst passengers conveyed onward by bus.
(2) On the return journey train failed to stop at Leatherhead as booked to
set-down. Those wishing to alight had to get off at Dorking and return on next
service train (23.12 Dorking-Waterloo).
(3) Route confirmation required - Alan Osborn comments: I do not have details of
the route north of Loughborough - but I am sure it was via Erewash valley line,
Tapton Jn, Beighton Jn, Rotherham Masborough and reached York via Church Fenton
with return same route.
Alan Osborn comments: this 'Excursion to York' was very lightly loaded, and just picked up where the Travel Agency had shops i.e Billingshurst, Horsham and Leatherhead. A few more pickups and they might have filled it.
