Cracking video! I know now where all the photos I have seen of Wandsworth Road were taken from; that road bridge behind your filming position. What a busy junction! Thanks again for posting these trips down memory lane.

I used to watch the trains there in the late 50s and early 60s before the electrication of the Kent coast lines. 70004 William Shakespeare on the 'Arròw' sweeping down the curve building up speed. One of my most vivid memories was the sight of a J50 on a transfer freight climbing up from Stewarts Lane.. such a strange looking loco to a young boy used to SR locos.

[@spompey]

That is a lot of memories and all so interesting, I was too young to have witnessed this in real life....best regards to you and many thanks....Mark

I like how 3 different 73s on light engines You see one of them on freight or ECS movements to somewhere.

Never have thought 47401 would have strayed that far South - but there you go!

[@djtrainspotter]

It was allocated to Immingham's FGII Rf Distribution sector pool briefly at this time so work some Dover train-ferry traffic etc.

Awesome again. Just goes to show the misconception that 33/1's were rare in Kent. Nope, not after they moved to the Meldon ballast workings, they were regular around here from 1988.

The Intercity train at 17:46 will likely have been the Manchester-Folkestone service

[@spompey]

It was a Manchester - Brighton service routed over the North Downs Line instead of the more common Via Kensington Olympia....best regards to you....many thanks....Mark

What happens to old trains is what I want to know!

[@spompey]

They mostly get cut up sadly, but some are purchased and preserved thankfully..... and many thanks for watching and for commenting....best regards...MARK

Sure that was the week 33022 and 33055 met their joint demise at Marden after striking a fallen tree, during those winter gales. Neither worked ever again.

Thought it slipped to a stand and was rescued by a 47 that didn’t slip to a stand.
