Discover Folkestone

Locos Used 67009 & 67014
Stock Used Load 11

Route :
1Y46 : London Victoria to Folkestone West
1Y44 : Folkestone West to London Victoria

Loco(s) Route
67009 (1) London Victoria - Brixton - Peckham Rye - Nunhead - Catford - Shortlands - Bromley South - Bickley Jn - St Mary Cray Jn - Swanley - Maidstone East - Ashford International - Folkestone West
67014 (2) Folkestone West - (reverse of outward route) (3) - London Victoria

Notes :
(1) 67014 on rear.
(2) 67009 on rear.
(3) Return booked timings suggest use of Atlantic Lines from Peckham Rye. After Factory Jn timings show both Longhedge Jn (twice!) and Stewarts Lane Jn which would require multiple reversals (these 'suspect' timings are shown in italics in the timing table below); it is likely the train ran direct to London Victoria (the distances would then be: Linford Street Jn 72m 34ch, Grosvenor Bridge Jn 72m 76ch and London Victoria 73m 69ch).
