1001 passes GBRf 66709 ‘Joseph Arnold Davies’ at 13.18 as it enters Tonbridge West Yard to pick up 73213. The rear of the West Burton PS - Mountfield gypsum freight can be seen in the station eastbound centre road behind GBRf 66714. The makeup of 1001 was 60118+60501+69337+70262+60529+60116 73213 couples up to 60116 ‘Mountfield’ at 13.25 between MRA wagons and barrier coaches 6376 & 6377 18
73213 draws 1001 out of Tonbridge West Yard at 14.10 Our booked photo stop at Maidstone East caused much bemusement to passengers waiting for the service to Ashford International! Now back on schedule we ran via Otford Junction to Swanley where a very rare reverse manoeuvre was undertaken. In order to get to the Down Chatham Main towards Rochester, 1001 drew forward to the shunt signal beyond the London end of Platform 1. With 73213 again in charge, the rarely used crossover from the Up Chatham Fast to Platform 2 was taken to gain the Down Chatham Main. with 73213 on the rear, 1001 sits at Maidstone East at 15.34, Mark Richards The return from Rochester to London Cannon Street was uneventful retracing the outward route as far as Dartford and from here via Sidcup to Hither Green. This time we did run via Lewisham and the Up Slow as booked to North Kent East Junction. After set down at Cannon Street, 73213 departed with what must be an extremely rare loco hauled passenger train. We retraced our route to Lewisham then via Ladywell to take the Beckenham Spur to Beckenham Junction. Favourable signals (and generous pathing allowances) ensured that arrival at Bromley South was 20 mins up on schedule at 19.10 where I alighted from the tour. It was an enjoyable, interesting and eventful day. The problems encountered along the way made it more interesting and the change of itinerary en route made the mystery part just that little bit more mysterious!...and for me intending to photograph it at Hastings !, ed 19
