Notes :
(1) Originally advertised to start from London Euston. This tour was booked to share steam locos 4771 & 4472 with the
Flying Scotsman Enterprises/Camera Thorpe's 'White Rose' tour.
(2) 4771 ran light-engine back to Carnforth from Ravenglass at which point it is
understood it was failed, thus preventing it's use on the other tour run on this
date.
(3) 4771 when photographed at Shipley carried 1Z33 - was this headcode used
throughout?
