Notes :
(1) Off tour options: The Eden Project, Bodmin & Wenford Railway, Padstow or Penzance.
(2) David Lodwick comments: On the return journey we learned that there would be industrial action taking place at the Thames Valley Signalling Centre from 22.30 over meal breaks. It was decided to ask G.W.R. if it was possible to put our passengers on 1A97 at Newbury so they could arrive in London Paddington before the strike took place. G.W.R. agreed. Our charter was held at Hayes and Harlington with an arrival of 40 minutes late at London Paddington.
