Notes :
(1) As the original tour, on 18/2/84, was fully booked several weeks
before it ran, this relief train was run. Arrival back at Kings Cross was 70
minutes late due to a fatality involving a cyclist at a level crossing between
Shildon and Darlington.

n.b. these booked times are from the identical format tour which ran on February 18th, but have been repeated here as it is believed the times were the same on both dates.
