Notes :
(2) Ian McDonald comments: it appears that the train was originally booked for 45596 & 46229; however; BR decreed that any train over 10 coaches, this one was 11 plus support coach, was only to be hauled by a Class 8 loco, Hence 35028 subbed at short notice for the Jubilee.
(2) Confirmation is required that 91006 hauled the return leg from Doncaster (it is believed so).
