Notes :
(1) For visit to Spalding Flower Parade.
(2) Route & loco confirmation required - seen at Bishops Stortford, Postland & Cambridge being hauled by 33044. It is reported that an ER loco took over at Cambridge on the outward leg. Originally uploaded as originating at Brighton it is also suggested the origin was in fact Ramsgate - confirmation is thus required.
