Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required. Page originally uploaded with the Chichester to Kensington Olympia leg hauled by 33051+33053 however recent photographic evidence has been seen online by the Webmaster showing the train on arrival at Kensington Olympia being hauled by 33034+33063 (33034 being clearly identifiable in the photo). Did 33051+33053 haul the return from Kensington Olympia, or was there a swap from one pair to the other somewhere between Chichester & Kensington Olympia?
