The Southern Electric Group (SEG) have announced recently that they will be operating a railtour with 2 Gatwick Express class 442 units.
The route will be (subject to change):
London Victoria (Eastern Departure Approximately 10:00), Battersea Reversible Line To Stewarts Lane, Pouparts Junction, Balham, Selhurst, Through Selhurst Depot To Norwood Junction, London Bridge (Reverse And Pick up Approximately 11:15), Quarry Line, Three Bridges, Crawley (Reverse), Redhill (Reverse), Tonbridge (Reverse), Redhill, Lewes, Eastbourne (Lunch Break & Reverse), Lewes, Brighton (Reverse), Preston Park (Reverse), Hove Yard (Reverse TO BE CONFIRMED), Then Non Stop Via Quarry Line Back To London Victoria (Arrival Approximately 19:00).
I don't know about everyone else, but I can't really see the point in this tour? You can go on a Gatwick Express train much cheaper, and you can even get one to Eastbourne if you want to once a weekday!
But what do you guys think?
