Route :
| Loco | Route |
| ???? | Retford - Doncaster - Leeds - Ravenglass |
| ???? | Ravenglass - Carnforth - (?reverse of outward route?) - Retford |
Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required. For visits to the Ravenglass & Eskdale
Railway and Steamtown, Carnforth. The ticket (and main tour organiser) would
heavily suggest the use of 4472 'Flying Scotsman' on this tour however there is
a photograph on Flickr of 4472 at Scarborough, reported to be on a special to
Newcastle on this date. Is that photo incorrectly dated or was 4472 not used on
this outing?
