Notes :
(1) Upon arrival at Hereford the stock from the RCTS tour from Nottingham was added for the mini-tour of the Hereford area -
confirmation of where it was dropped off (is assumed to be Brecon
Curve Jn as indicated above). The ticket letter mentioned departure
from Hereford homewards at 17.20 but according to Ian Umpleby the train reversed
at Brecon
Curve Jn and not the station.
(2) Onto straight of new siding beyond curve off Brecon line formation, for
visit to Bulmers Steam Centre.
(3) Almost to gate on Henry Wiggin's Siding.
