Notes:
(1) 25042 + 25268 on rear.
(2) Due to suffering a hot axle-box on one coach the LMR decided to to a
stock-swap and the tour thus returned to Caersws in a (mainly mark 2) rake of
stock from a Euston to Barrow service, the service train employing the charter
stock rake. Use of different 25's on the return from Warrington
was not planned but 25042 was vacuum
not dual braked so the other pair substituted being both dual braked.
