Notes :
(1) 47739 on rear.
(2) 47358 on rear.
(3) Delay leaving Paddington was due to a derailment at Old Oak the night before which had blocked the stock in the sidings. The stock eventually arrived at Paddington at 10:28 - the stock was also delayed at Old Oak Common by the failure of 47481. It was replaced by 47739.
(4) Tour originally booked via Old Oak Common West, Greenford Loop, West Ealing, Acton Wells, West London Jn & Primrose Hill and calling at Stratford. Engineering work affected the run via Greenford Loop & Stratford station, so calls were made at Blackhorse Road & Barking instead. Also, engineering work blocked Acton Wells to Acton Main Line after 19:00, so tour re-routed via Kensington Olympia to London Victoria.
