Notes :
(1) 66091 on rear.
(2) 66142 on rear.
(3) 08651 on rear.
(4) 08466 on rear.
(5) 37420 on rear.
(6) 37519 on rear.
(7) Booked to reverse at Splott Jn.
(8) Booked 37701+702 failed on Saltley, so the tour was given 66091+142
for thrashless thrash to Bridgend and back. Check rail not replaced in Barry
Docks by contractors so not able to enter them with our Mark 1 set (fresh from
the East Lancs weekend!). On board negotiations by Monmouthshire caused
37519+420 to be provided from Tidal for a good finale for 519 on passenger.
