Notes :
(1) Although these locos were JB's, the organiser wanted class 73/0s till it was pointed out that they did not have the facility to work in Push Pull mode. That is why the tour was advertised as the JA Jamboree rather than the JB Jamboree.
(2) The train had been timed to Chessington Goods, but this was refused a few days before the tour because of track condition. The timings below are the revised version.
(3) 73138 propelling on the rear.
(4) 73126 propelling on the rear.
(5) Some people were expecting a reversal into the former Staines West Station but were suitably disappointed. Kevin Driscoll confirms the train was not booked to do so, it was just wishful thinking on the part of some.
(6) Described in the timing sheet as Staines Depot Loop.
(7) about 3 rail lengths short of convergence of route from yard.
(8) Booked to Berth 38 - confirmation required.
