Notes :
(1) Bill Lynch comments: Unfortunately,
the point reached at Alloa was too far west to overlap with the point reached
from the other direction by the 28 Aug 1976 Forth Fife Railtour by BLS; that
overlap had to wait until passenger services returned to Alloa years later.
(2) Webmaster comment: DMU is listed as 3-car set 107 444; in the Ian Allan
1983/1984 Coaching Stock book this set was listed as comprising:
52005+59804+52031. Photographic evidence confirms the use of 59804 & 52031
however confirmation is required that the third car was 52005.
