69001, 09.39 Tonbridge West Yard-Bescot Engineers (0Z78, RT), Victoria bridge Complete with its speed whiskers as per the first generation DMUs from the 1960s 6900 'Mayflower' passes Victoria bridge between Roade and Ashton. The former 56031 entered service in 2021 but its path to operation has not been particularly smooth with various operational and technical issues cropping up that have needed rectification. On this sunny day and as it was a light engine I opted for this 'going away' vie of the locomotive running as the 0Z78 09.39 Tonbridge Yard to Bescot to make best use of the lighting. I really ould like to take some images of these re-purposed locomotives actually working a train and earning their keep but this is not particularly common, in our area on the WCML at least!
