Loco | Stock | Route |
86237 | [1] | London Euston - (via WCML, Weedon & Trent Valley) - Crewe |
6201 | [2] | Crewe - Chester - Rhyl - Llandudno Junction - Bangor - Holyhead |
6201 | [3] | Holyhead - (reverse of outward route) - Crewe |
86422 | [4] | Crewe - (via WCML, Trent Valley & Weedon) - London Euston |
Notes :
(1) 35131 was in the formation only
when 6201 was on the train, and was coupled next to 6201 in both directions.
(2) It appears from a hand-written time on John Broderick's tour timing sheet
that the train was re-timed to depart Holyhead at 17.20 and, as a result, omitted
the operating stop at Bangor to regain lost time.
