66759 makes a rare appearance in the Tamper Sidings at Bromsgrove whilst on layover between banking duties! It had been assisting a number of engineering trains up the Lickey Bank over the weekend.

@kentrailfan37 Thank you! Yes it’s 2018 onwards with all the lovely GWR units from that period like 143/150/158s

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

Oak Lane returns! Come and see ‘New Oak Lane’ at the Spa Valley Railway Model show this weekend (21/22 Sep) which is a Western Region based station and Traction Motive Depot. Featuring tonnes of GWR DMUs and visiting freight operators! #tmrguk

Oh dear looks like @BLSFixtures tour from Birmingham International to Swindon will be late departing. ECS 3Z52 Barry - Bhm Intl is currently held up at Gloucester where I presume the front 57 has failed and the one on the back is having to take over.

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@octoberdrift @huwstephens @BBC6Music @Blackhamimages Its a brilliant track, been humming it all weekend after hearing it on Huw's show. Are you releasing it as a 7" vinyl?

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@Charing_Steve Was 47805 in the end, so you didn’t miss too much!

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

To all wishing to see Royal Scot today, due to a delay at Cheltenham the Golden Arrow is running very late and it is likely that the steam train won’t be added to make up time. So Class 40 D213 will be leading instead. When was the last time a Class 40 visited Kent!?

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@Train_Pone Railcam is saying royal Scot is back on??

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@Train_Pone What a shame.

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@Train_Pone Why not put royal Scot on the front if they’re going to the hassle of switching locos? I thought the whole point of making up time was to avoid a loco switch!

[Railmen of Kent @RailinKent]

@Train_Pone Damn!
