Notes :
(1) Tour ran originally on 16th May. Over-booking meant this re-run was
organised as Scotrail were unable to increase the train beyond the 3-car unit
used.
From the working notice;
On the Powderhall branch the train must not proceed beyond
the notice board immediately on the approach to the depot security gate.
On the Leith South branch the train must not proceed beyond the notice board at
Leith South unless authorised by the local supervisor and must, thereafter, work
to the instructions of the Yard Supervisor.
On the Methil branch the train must not proceed beyond the connection to the
power station.
On the Westfield branch the train must not proceed beyond the notice board
denoting commencement of yard working at Westfield.
On the Kincardine branch the train must not proceed beyond the former Kincardine
station platform.
On the Docks single line, between Fouldubs Jn and Grangemouth, the train must
not proceed beyond Overbridge No.1 (at 2 miles 1170 yards).
On the Menstrie branch the train must not proceed over any hand points at
Menstrie.
