Notes :
(1) 47802 on rear.
(2) 47832 on rear.
(3) Geoffrey May comments : The train left Southend Central about 7 mins late due to the Network Rail signalman at Upminster insisting that an 11-coach train plus 2 loco's could fit into a 12-car bay platform. Needless to say, the rear loco (which became the front loco) could not clear the track circuits.
