Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required. Photographic evidence gives the running date of this tour as 6th June 1953 (a Saturday) not 6th May as originally uploaded (a Wednesday)? The same caption gave the return routing as: from Windsor to King's Cross via the North London Line, Acton and Acton Jn.
(2)
63666 was photographed at Windsor & Eton carrying headcode 301 - was this headcode used throughout?
