35028 Stratford-upon-Avon - (reverse of outward route) (1) - London Marylebone

Notes :
(1) Dave Warby comments: on the return journey a water-stop was made at Banbury's platform 1. To get the train in to the platform, I am 99% certain it was necessary to pass through the station as far as Banbury South signal box and reverse back in to platform 1.
(2) Dave Warby further comments: I travelled throughout and I do not recall any wild deviation from the booked schedule.
