Did this excursion run? Information taken from an advertising leaflet.
Traction Used | ????? |
Route :
Traction | Route |
????? | London Charing Cross - ??? - New Romney |
????? | New Romney - (?reverse of outward route?) - London Charing Cross |
Notes :
(1) Advertising leaflet states that a special train would run from
London 'if traffic conditions permit' - otherwise it is assumed service train(s)
were used as it is stated that accommodation would be 'strictly limited'. Fares
were also available from Brighton and Portsmouth - it is assumed these are using
service trains. Use of 'special trains' on the RH&DR is mentioned in the advert;
'programme including a complete tour of the line, inspection of the engine sheds
and model railway display etc'.
