Notes :
(1) Wrong line working near Warminster (from Signal W653 to Signal W752, approx Warminster MoD Base to Wylye). Kevin Driscoll comments: The Pathfinder booklet makes no allowance for these reversals in the mileage table. I added another 15 chains each way to the mileages in the timing tabulation below, allowing for train & loco length, and my estimate of signal overlaps.
(2) plus 56052, dead-in-tow.
(3) 60034 propelling.
