Notes :
(1) Ian Umpleby comments: The ticket letter apologised for the fact that protracted negotiations had failed to get permission to enter Chatham Dockyard and a £1 refund was handed out on the train.
(2) Booked outward routing via Stewarts Lane missed due to a signalling error, so made on the return journey.
