Notes :
(1) From the Spitfire Railtours Website: it is with regret that we have no
alternative but to cancel this trip. On Tuesday 24th, we were advised by our
Train Operating Company/Rolling Stock Provider that they are unable to provide
us with the necessary Kitchen car for our train. This vehicle was to provide our
onboard Dining catering and also the catering service for First and Standard
class. Unfortunately, with no alternative suitable vehicle available we have no
choice but to regrettably cancel our trip.
