According to some of the older drivers, it was 60mph throughout many years back, but residents living above the tunnel were complaining of vibration from the trains, so they lowered it to 30mph and it’s been that way ever since.

Just a quick snap at Ashford:-)

Hi all. I’ve heard a rumour that all the remaining metcam networkers on southeastern will be withdrawn at the December timetable change. Any truth in this? JJ

Thanks. Pretty sure I read somewhere that 47828 has to be returned before the 37.

With the purchase of 37401 and 37409. Alongside their 37521 & 667, are there plans to hand back 37688 to the Severn Valley?

No worries!

It may have changed as per the autumn timetable introduction, but I'm fairly certain it was the 1312 and the 1412 off Victoria on a Sunday that was networker. It also isn't guaranteed to be a 465/9. 465/0s and 465/1s have been used on the services as well.

Bromley South, St Mary Cray and Maidstone East are bat and flag.

I was a participant on the jolly slatemen tour in 2021. Got allocated a seat in a mk1 compartment. First one since the slam door units left us, the stock was immaculate and well taken care of! Got chatting to two gents in the compo and the day just flew by!

DOO as far as Otford. Conductor the rest of the way.

Shame, I think they could have ran a few tours. I'm sure one to the coast with their 37s on a summer weekend to somewhere on the south coast would have been a seat filler. Or maybe a buffer puffer style trip.

65761 is the coach with it working. Went home on it last night.

I drove the first train up from Ashford after the fire was out and the line reopened (around 1930) Signaller at Maidstone appreciated it was dark but wanted the lines London end of West Malling examined, arriving there NR and Fire Brigade were still on site examining the platform and 4ft. The 6...

I remember seeing an advert for Now! That what’s I call music 42 (released in March 1999) at the old platforms at London Bridge. It was still there in 2010. It was under the stair well where the stairs went up beneath platforms 2/3!

I noticed this coach at Barrow Hill on Saturday during the 56 tour. Is this a networker coach?
