Notes :
(1) Believed double-headed but confirmation of this is required - Matt Callaghan
confirms there is photographic evidence that the train was indeed double-headed
at Furnace Sidings, with 37289 leading in the direction of Pontypool.
(2) Route confirmation required - believed started and finished at Oxford (which
would make sense based on the tour operator).
