Tuesday 05/03/02
An officially sanctioned after-work visit to see the Royal Mail trains in action:
73129 + 73133 1940 Dover Priory – Willesden PRDC via Tonbridge MLO
Train was top-and-tailed, with 73133 only being used for the draw back from Tonbridge West Yard to Tonbridge MLO.
After a quick guided tour of the PRDC, it was time to join another TPO mail train to get me home:
67020 2310 Willesden PRDC – Reading via Kensal Green, Willesden High Level, Acton Wells
