31st
Battle of Britain class 34053 "Sir Keith Park" is seen sat at Eridge about to work a service to Tunbridge Wells West. To my knowledge this is the biggest steam loco to work on the Spa Valley Railway.
We then depart Eridge behind Sir Keith Park, with 20 no. D8188 on the rear. Please note, only the camera was out of the window. Due to over the top health and safety, I refrained from putting my head out.
BR Green 20 no. D8188 then departs Tunbridge Wells West with the last round trip of the day, with Sir Keith Park on the rear. Note 31 430 and 73 140 in the station as well.
We briefly head away from the Spa and look at Tonbridge West Yard with 73s 136, 965, 963, 201, 107, 141 and 128, and 66s 776, 793, 701 and 740 and DR97802/602/502. Also note fire damaged DR75410.
A 375/7 and 375/6 set heads out from Tonbridge with a service to Charing Cross.
And finally we go back in time about an hour as I thought this was a good ending clip, 34053 "Sir Keith Park" and D8188 depart from High Rocks (just out of sight round the curve) with the final Eridge to Tunbridge Wells West service of the day. And yes, I am behind the fence.
