Notes:
(1) The tour was to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the LCGB North West Branch's first rail tour, this being their 95th.
(2) Dace Cook comments: the rolling stock was of the early Mark 2 variety - very unusual at this time but much appreciated by those of us who prefer something more contemporary than the usual dismal steam age stuff (Mark 1) used on such tours.
