The listings are an attempt to collate information from a number of sources, none of which provides a complete list. Many of the tours are listed on [http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ Six Bells Junction] (SBJ); links have been included to those that are where normally more information on the precise route and timing for the specific tour may be found. [http://www.uksteam.info/tours/index.htm UK Steam] is another useful resource, with reasonably complete lists of railtours since 1996.
