There is a charter to Par coming up with a 68 provisionally booked, assume the route learning is to do with that?

Is there, what date? I will have to look out for that one. I had assumed it must be for the Mazey Day special as it's going to Penzance.

Test runs for the Night Riviera ....

I don't think it is route learning. More making sure that it fits at some of the more limited clearance areas I would have thought?

Reply to question taken from a Class 68 Forum:-

Route clearance checks in advance of a forthcoming excursion.

You could hardly learn a route with a single trip.
