Notes :
(1) Train ran ECS to Kipps shed and loco turned on Whifflet triangle as the turntable at Kipps Shed was 'not suitable'.
(2) Loco running tender first.
(3) From one of the tickets supplied below, a tram tour also took place - from the route described on the ticket this presumably took place prior to the railtour. Further details are required.
