http://railway-photography.smugmug.com/Railtours-Year-by-Year/19912000/1995/The-Honey-Monster-29-7-95/i-w4bsnfQ



33057 + 33019 (1) Honeybourne - Moreton-in-Marsh - Oxford - Didcot Parkway

33057 + 33019 Didcot Parkway - (reverse of outward route) - London Paddington



(1) 47348 on rear.

(2) round trip given as 9.8 miles.

Beleived to be the only tour that has gone through from Stop Board 10 to 12 and Stop Board 16 to 17.

(3) 33019 + 33057 on rear.

(4) 7298 on front of 47348, 33's on rear!

(5) MoD locos RR on triangle between Stop Boards 13,14 & 15, the locos then propelled the train from between Stop Board 13 & 14 to enable the reversal to take place. It had been said that the third side of the triangle (stop Boards 13 to 15) was too tight to take a loaded passenger train
