(2) The following week's 125 tour ran ECML to Benton Jn then via the Blythe & Tyne to Morpeth North Jn - did this tour do likewise?
(3) Advertised via the Edinburgh Suburban - did the set reverse at Edinburgh, or go round the 'sub' anti-clockwise to go back through Waverley a second time before heading for Dundee?
