Notes :
Nigel Rollings Comments : This train, organised jointly by Peterborough Railway
Society and the RCTS, was booked to use two three-car Class 125 diesel-hydraulic multiple
units, based at Finsbury Park. Unfortunately, in the event, only five vehicles
arrived - a complete three-car unit and a second one that was missing a driving
motor - leading to considerable overcrowding! This was the last train, other
than track recovery trains, to run between Peterborough and Oundle, on
the old LNWR route to Blisworth (via Northampton), which was the first railway
to arrive in Peterborough.
