Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required - the above is taken from
the booked times. The tour timing sheet gave the tour name as 'Fenchurch Street
and King's Cross'. Mike Morant comments:
in my negatives collection are four shots depicting the `Saracens Head' Railtour which was organised by the REC. The negs depict ex-works 80135 at an
unrecalled location (possibly Palace Gates) and N2 69594 at Watton-at-Stone and
possibly Cole Green. 80135 is also confirmed from other photographic evidence as
having been in charge at North Woolwich and Churchbury.
