    I notice this is shown as going all around the houses on the return, after East Croydon it diverts via Norwood Junction (PL3) then Crystal Palace, Gypsy Hill, West Norwood & Streatham Hill, before re-joining the mainline at Balham. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P94157/2014/11/07/advanced

    Anyone know why?

    A weight restriction has been imposed on an overbridge at Selhurst UFN, so expect the Surrey Hills BBP, and other steam operations, to go via Crystal Palace for the foreseeable future.

    I have to agree with that comment as I drove under that bridge little more than an hour later on my way back from Scotland. And, for a Friday, amazingly in traffic not much heavier than that shown.:)

    On the motorway shot, I see a white saloon car parked on the hard shoulder - a genuine breakdown or maybe a keen photographer who just happens to know what was about to happen!! If he is an enthusiast, don't copy him or her because it is a dangerous place to park and the cops will have you!

    I have been pondering and planning and surveying that bridge, and that shot for some considerable time now, and I can assure you, the thoughtt of engineering a breakdown in the right place at the right time was indeed considered.

    Bit confusing to publish an old clip?

    Sorry, ignore that. Might have been my computer's cache but I think it was YouTube having a wobble. The link gave me a couple of different videos. Working OK now.

    Quite a display at Norwood Junction as 'Clan Line' got the road and charged the bank up to Crystal Palace.

    Super pic.
    Was this taken from the Penge Road bridge (where the old Goat House pub used to be many years ago)?
