Just seen a driving car from the 4DD parked at Toddington services heading south...

Wonder if that is the one that was at the Northampton Ironstone Railway?

As seen on the left here in 2019.

Looks like it's the Northampton based driving car on its way to join the other surviving one in Sellindge, Kent.

I thought my eyes were deceiving me this morning. Passed me on the M20 southbound just past the Swanley interchange at around 6.20 this morning

I wonder what's happening with the EPB on the right of the picture.

Still sitting there doing nothing the last time I passed by on 3rd May.

If it wasn't for the fencing, that photo looks like it could've been taken in 1963!

Glad it's still around anyway. It's pretty historically important in its own right.

The 4DD group have a press release/article on the home page of their site about the move:

Bulleid 4DD Group

Great to have the two cars back together after around four decades separated. I remember 13004 from early days at the Northampton and Lamport Railway where my cousin was a volunteer, always an interesting oddball vehicle. Hope there is a brighter future now both are in the hands of some enthusiastic volunteers.
