Notes :
(1) All first-class dining tour, £70 per person. The train carried a 'Railway
World' headboard. For the bus enthusiast there
was a 'road versus rail' option (£55) using a 32-seat luxury coach which was booked to leave Paddington at exactly the same time as the train. At Paignton
passengers were to transfer to a preserved ex-Devon General AEC Regent V to get
to Kingswear. A trip on the River Dart was also part of the day for all
participants whether they took the rail or road option.
(2) Booked for haulage by 'Dumbleton Hall' or 'Lydham Manor'.
