"The Kent Armistice Day Special" (routeing?)

[BRX]

This was originally advertised as Victoria - Margate but has been changed to Waterloo - Deal - K Olympia.

The outward timings here

http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t11/t1111a.htm

show it leaving Waterloo at 1103 and passing Nunhead at 1117. Does that mean it's going to use the old Eurostar flyover to get onto the south london line?

 

[MikeWh]

I should think so. I can't see any other way of getting between the two places in that time.

 

[BRX]

For some reason I thought that flyover was out of use/mothballed at the moment.

For some reason I thought that flyover was out of use/mothballed at the moment.

It was reported as such on here, but UKRT's Mine of Serpents railtour on Saturday did it both ways with no problems.
