Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required - above is from an incomplete set of booked timings. Confirmation specifically required that the outward route from Stratford-on-Avon to Oxenholme was the same as the return route (no timings made available to the Webmaster but believed likely so due to the pick-up/set-down points).
