Return via Royal Oak Sidings – Southall West Loop (rev) – Brentford Branch (rev) – Slough – Kennet Passenger Loop – Reading – Down Festival Line – Didcot Parkway (sd) - Swindon (sd) - Sroud (sd) - Cheltenham Spa (sd) - Worcestershire Parkway (sd) - Birmingham New Street (sd) - Tamworth High Level (sd) - Burton upon Trent (sd) - Derby
