23:18 Ramsgate - Rochester tonight

[brad465]

To my surprise, this service appears to be an 8-car 465 formation, according Rail Checker. The stock ran empty from Gillingham depot to Ramsgate, then runs back to Rochester in service, calling all stations, before returning to Gillingham depot. Does anyone know what the purpose of this diagram is, especially as it appears to be a one off on RTT?
