Notes :
(1) Route & loco confirmation required. This weekend trip, not strictly a railtour, was touring sheds in the North Wales area. The Rhyl miniature railway was also visited. The primary trip was over two days, 6th & 7th July, the first ticket below allowing some of the participants to travel from London...presumably on service train(s) the day before. A mix of trains and buses were used through the two days of travel, again it is not clear but the trains are very probably service trains rather than specifically chartered. It is reported that the tour party numbered just 12 people.
