Notes :
(1) 47802 on rear.
(2) 47832 on rear.
(3) On arrival at Didcot Parkway 47802 was found to be overheating and was
failed. The train was then turned by way of reversals at Foxhall Jn and Didcot
North Jn so that 47832 was leading for the remainder of the journey.
(4) Due to late running it was decided the train was to terminate at Clapham
Junction with set down at Kensington Olympia. On arrival at Reading the route
was again changed to the LSWR line from Reading to Clapham Junction, for set
down, and termination at Kensington Olympia. Booked route was: Reading - Acton
Main Line - Acton Wells Jn - North Pole Jn - Kensington Olympia - Latchmere Jn -
Longhedge Jn - Stewarts Lane Jn - London Victoria.
(5) Richard Pudduck comments: The train was late off of Euston due to late stock
arrival. Further delays were encountered at Aylesbury (due to late arrival of
refuse train for Calvert and hand over of token subsequently) and Bicester
(awaiting late running service train).
