M.& G.N. and Waveney Valley Rail Tour. This was the first passenger train to use the 'Themelthorpe spur' between the ex-Mamp;GN Norwich City to Melton Constable line and the and ex-GER County School to Wroxham line, which had opened a few weeks previously (the ex-Mamp;GN line onwards to Melton Constable closing at the same time). It was also the last passenger train, possible last revenue earning train, between Harleston and Bungay, which had been worked as two branches from Tivetshall and Beccles respectively, for some months. A photo-stop was arranged at Homersfield on the section due to close completely. 65469 was used from Tivetshall owing to weight restrictions on the Waveney Valley line. Tour itinerary carried the name 'Mamp;GN and Waveney Valley Rail Tour' whereas the train headboard read 'Waveney Valley 'M&GN Special'.
