Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required. Dave Baxendale comments: This
mystery trip ended up at Folkestone.I think that there was also an option to
alight at Canterbury but not certain on that. The train was double headed class
33s into Folkestone from Willesdon and return. Can’t remember anything else
about it except it was a great day out with plenty of beers.
