Notes :
(1) Train journeyed down to Penzance overnight. Ticket was also valid as a day
rover between Penzance & Plymouth (plus, Pip Dunn believes, the Cornish
Branches). The tour of the branches was an extra to the main railtour. Train was
only advertised for a class 50 on the return leg, 50026 on the outward coming
off 1M61.
(2) 37185 on rear.
(3) 37207 on rear.
