    1135 crawled silently through Denmark Hill on a single yellow (though the route had been clear for several minutes prior).

    3x separate class 66 light engines going the other way, 66850 for colas as one, 66117 another.

    60163 passes Shortlands approx. 5 mins early.

    Very tatty, tired and dirty set of rolling stock in a very mixed bag of liveries. Hope it was better on the inside than the outside. Also noted that on several of the roofs the paint had peeled off almost totally.

    The Green Train was in far better external condition than this & they decided it was not good enough anymore.
    The blue & cream mk2 at the end looks totally out of place, not sort of any authentic livery.

    6Mins early at Kent House, treading on the heals of a local (which could have been held in the loop to allow Tornado to pass without making it more than 1 Min down). 61603 @  Kent House in the gathering gloom 26 06 12 001.jpg 61603 @  Kent House in the gathering gloom 26 06 12 002.jpg 61603 @  Kent House in the gathering gloom 26 06 12 003.jpg
