Pathfinder Tours
The Pembroke Coast Limited
Note: it would appear this is almost certainly the same train as the Regional Railways/Flying Scotsman Services 'Pembroke Coast Limited' however it is unclear if Pathfinder ran this train to connect into the RR/FSS train or it it was simply multiple operators selling tickets for the same train?
Did this train run? 47313 was allocated to haul it, but unknown if it took place.
