| Stock Used | three BR Mark 1 Metro Gauge Suburbans, part of a Moorgate set |
Route : Reporting Code M790 throughout
| Loco | Route |
| 43245 | Harpenden Central - Harpenden Jn - Redbourne - Hemel Hempstead - Heath Park Halt |

Notes :
(1) Confirmed by photographic evidence
as having visited all points given on the ticket, hauled by 43245. The stock and 43245 worked light to/from St
Albans.
(2) Although listed as having been run by the LCGB, this tour does not appear in
their book 'The First Hundred - Rail Tours 1953-1967' suggesting it was not in
fact an LCGB-organised trip.
