I'm reading a Ministry of Transport accident report for an accident on Wednesday 1st February 1950. It concerns a passenger express from Ramsgate(dep 08:58) to Birkenhead. The accident took place at 12:10 at East Shalford between REIGATE and GUILDFORD. So it's taken nearly three and a quarter hours (running 2 mins late) to not yet reach Guildford!
I'm curious to know the route and timing of this train. To get to Guildford I'm taking a long shot that it went from Ramsgate to Dover then Ashford, Tonbridge, Redhill (reverse). Then where was it going? Little Chittering on the Sly?
