Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required (above are the booked routes). Richard Hughes believes the train ran main-line apart from the Eastleigh loop (confirmed by Paul Griffin), and 33114 worked in tandem with the other engines (also confirmed by Paul Griffin), and also that 60042 may have been ailing.

LASERman comments: Booked movement of stock was 19.35 ECS Waterloo – Old Oak Common via Kingston loop and ran as special as far as Clapham Junction [P3] before going to Old Oak Common. Had to get off at Clapham Jn. to head to work for 21.00 start. Train was late waiting for locomotive to arrive (from Hither Green I recall). Arrived about 19.50 then further delay finding a guard with route knowledge.
