Notes :
(1) Steve Doughty confirms the operator and tour name as given above. He also confirmed that the advertised loco for this tour was 92220 'Evening Star' however (as was explained in a letter from SLOA) this was not possible due to a landslip in the Grosmont area which prevented 92220 from leaving the NYMR.
