Notes :
(1) SLS & MLS tour participants from the Manchester area used a separate special
to get to Lancaster and return from Morecambe Promenade. On arrival at Lancaster
the last seven vehicles of that trains stock were removed to form the stock for
this tour. When W512 terminated at Morecambe Promenade the seven coaches were
reformed with the other four from train C801 for its return journey to
Manchester.
