Gala Weekend

A fantastic weekend for our 500+ passengers! These photos show some of the trains and unusual formations operated:

Diesel locomotives Victor and Barton Hall double-head a passenger train from Sittingbourne Viaduct

Leader and Melior double-head the last train from Kemsley Down, the train stops at Milton Regis (Asda) Halt to enable Leader to proceed to Sittingbourne Viaduct on its own, this is due to weight restrictions on Milton Regis Viaduct

Leader and Melior top 'n' tail the empty train to form the first train from Sittingbourne Viaduct. This is the train approaching the Sittingbourne Northern Relief Road bridge, shortly after departure from Kemsley Down

Leader heads the empty train to form the first passenger working from Sittingbourne Viaduct. Melior is still attached to the rear of the train.
