Notes :
(1) It is thought likely this tour was originally advertised to run a week
earlier - pre-tour advertising seen by the Webmaster described an identical
itinerary planned to run on 06/11 but nothing was advertised at that time for
13/11.
(2) Because of very late running 92139 worked into Birmingham New Street station
even though by that time steam was banned from the station.
