Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required. David Ingham comments: I photographed 5000 hauling the train between Shrewsbury and Leaton, and at Whittington and photographed 46229 hauling the train at Gresford. I think that 5000 hauled the train from Hereford to Chester and 46229 hauled the train between Chester and Shrewsbury.
