    The loco and first coach do present a very nice late '50s look.

    If it’s £900 for two that makes a Belmond trip look like remarkable value. You get the real deal, genuine fine dining in proper Pullman luxury

    The only issue with the Belmond is if you are doing it from an enthusiast point of view the routes are the same standard thing, not that that’s much different to Saphos this year and I suspect makes no difference to 95% of the punters.

    I’d love to do the Belmond, but I’d be more inclined to spend the cash if it was over the S&C or something like that. Perhaps I’m just fussy?!

    I get what you mean but the new route around Kent is far superior to the old Surrey Hills circuit with a few gradients to make the engine cough a bit and you get to see France on a clear day! Except possibly in the leaf fall season there’s the added advantage that there’s no diesel on the back!

    And, not long before you took that nice photo, I had driven a few miles from home to get the Brit hurrying through Borough Green.

    Well it was hard to top off the opening shot at Bearsted with the Brit near on full regulator up the grade, but she put on a fine show as always for the rest of the day, even with it being put behind a stopper before Martin Mill bank:

    All very good sequences, but I particularly like the sound track of the Brit storming up Bearsted Bank.

    Joining into the bandwagon with @TheModster and @DanielsTrains on yesterdays Golden Arrow outing, here’s my contribution on Britannia following the shadows of her long lost sisters 70004 & 70014, captured on Bearstead Bank, Ashford, Walmer, Folkestone West & Otford

    That was The Statesman, on its final tour before going out of action for a year to fit new air conditioning and heating systems to the Mk2s.
