Wasn't sure where to put this as it's historic, but here goes. This railtour in 1997 seems to be somewhat forgotten so i'm wondering if anyone has any timings for when it ran? I've trawled railtour archives but nothing is showing up, other than what is quoted below and that it went from Exeter to Norwich and back. Who knows, one of you might have been on it.

Thanks in advance.
