January Jaunts

Started off the new year with a couple of photos of 66726 and 66717 passing Lancing in West Sussex.

I've also made a start at uplaoding some scanned photos onto my site. Firstly with three Hastings area phots from 2005 featuring Hastings DEMU no. 1001 and three GBRf 73s on the front of an engineers train.

I'm hoping 6O62 will run later on the down working more often, like it did today and last week. Just hope it ain't foggy if it does so again

Super shot & video, Craig

Thanks Jon

Yep, platform (and station building) is still at Lydd Town. See here for a photo.

Apperantly there is going to be two 395s out tomorrow and both running to the same route as 395002 ran today - Ramsgate-Faversham-Ebbsfleet-St Pancras-Ashford-Canterbury West-Ramsgate. A little bit of info on SE Gen can be found here

 

[Daniel533]

Great shot there Craig, the 395's look very nice, better than the 465's and 375's.
