Notes :
(1) These trains ran as part of the Winchfield 150 years celebrations. D1041, E27000, 73005, 45106, 33040, 33302 were on display, parked on the up fast line at Winchfield.
(2) At Andover on the return journey of trains A, B & C the stock was booked to shunt from the platform to the sidings to perform the engine change. It then returned to the station before departing; passengers were allowed to stay on, or were able to alight before it left for the sidings and rejoin when it came back into the station.
(3) A shuttle service ran between Woking, Winchfield & Basingstoke using 4-SUB 4732 - further details required (number of runs made, times).
