Notes: 

1 - The trip went ahead despite bad weather, which left less time in London, and hampered sightings due to poor visibility and service disruption.
2 - Other trip participants enjoyed time at St Pancras, on the East London Line and the Docklands railway system.
3 - There were many tube and bus sightings not contained within this report.
