Notes :
(1) On the return leg the Class 47 ran out of fuel at Filton.
(2) Originally uploaded as a BR "Day Excursion", it was assumed the ticket below
may have be from the same train however if it is then detail is then required for the
leg from Castle Cary to Bristol and back. The photograph then received however
puts raises a question as it is not at a location on the given route.
