Notes:
(1) It is reported that this was the first steam hauled railtour to run over
the recently redoubled Cotswold line via Evesham.
(2) Steve Devey comments: As it was not possible to provide a water stop between
Oxford and Tyseley on the return 47773 was attached as a pilot loco at Worcester
Shrub Hill with a 12 minute stop there from 20.10 to 20.22 included in the
schedule for that.
(3) Stock confirmation required.
