Notes :
(
1) Steve Lawton comments: A couple of photographs have turned up on Facebook of this tour at Sheffield however it shows the coaching stock formation to be Mk2 Air cons. Confirmation is therefore required as to the stock used (Webmaster comment: a search of Flickr found two photos of 55018 on this date at Sheffield, one at each end of the train, with 2x a/c Mk2's immediately behind the loco in both cases).
