Notes :
(1) Advertising leaflet described this as "one of a series of excursions
organised and operated by LINKWISE TOURS with a sales stand and raffle
facilities on the train provided by Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway
Society Ltd. Profits made by the society go towards helping steam railway
preservation on the North Norfolk Railway between Sheringham and Holt.
(2) Tour organiser confirmation required - originally uploaded as an un-named
N.E.N.T.A. Train Tours outing however a Linkwise Tours advertising leaflet
subsequently supplied would suggest this was the tour in question hence Linkwise
Tours being the organiser, as it would seem very unlikely to have two identical
tours run from East Anglia on this day.
