(1) Route & loco confirmation required - photographed at Whitacre Jn on the
outward leg hauled by 47706. Steve Beames, driver of the train from Nottingham
to Wolverhampton (and thus the driver in the photo below) provided route details
for the stretch he was in charge. He also believes this was run by Hertfordshire
Rail Tours.
