Notes :
(1) 33210 was initially uploaded as still bearing its pre-TOPS number (6595)
however published records suggest it was renumbered to 33210 in January of 1974
and thus ties with later information received suggesting it was indeed carrying
its TOPS number on the day of the tour (or was it displaying both?).
(2) Route confirmation required - above is from booked timings. Return route
through London was originally uploaded as the reverse of outward - does this
indicate an on-the-day diversion took place?
