Notes :
(1) Derek Thompson comments: This is believed to be the last mystery excursion
operated by British Rail. One of the on train stewards who travelled on every
excursion for a number of years had one answer when asked where the train was
going the answer was always Skegness. To mark the occasion of the last mystery
excursion it was arranged that it would go to Skegness and he would finally
reach his destination.
