Notes :
(1) Matthew Cole comments:
an e-mail
I received read something along the line of... 'The tour was/is cancelled
because Network Rail has declared that because of force majeure relating to the
severe weather, they cannot allow our railtour to take place this weekend. In
point of fact if Hastings Diesels tried to run the tour, but would have
encountered many difficulties along the way, right from the start when the
traincrew's taxi would be unable to reach St. Leonards Depot (which is more than
knee-deep in snow with more falling)'.
