Notes :
(1) 33063's turbocharger disappeared in a cloud of smoke over Ludlow's
fields, hence 33065 continued alone back to London, on load 9 plus a dead loco.
(2) Nigel Benning comments:
A
straightforward tour taking a pair of 33/0's to some of their old haunts. Loco
33063 was included to provide ETH to the train but expired in a cloud of smoke
between Leominster and Ludlow (hence the brief stop at Ludlow). Timekeeping was
good throughout the tour, so much so that arrival back at London Waterloo was 23
minutes early.
