(5) Neil Wilkinson reports that "after the main tour got back to London
Bridge it then went on to Victoria. This was nominally an ECS but 56058
featured. I also have the name "The Denmark Grainette" but I'm not
sure if that's the Hertfordshire name for it or if it was made up by one of us!".
Alan Sheppard confirms the run with 56058 was billed as "The Denmark Grainette"
but that it ran with the main tour headboard ("Grain Train").
Alan Sheppard also comments : Booking form had advertised a return to Victoria, but due to "locomotive route availability restrictions" this was changed to London Bridge, however, an ECS move was made available.
