First thing I've filed in 2026 is this, the Angerstein to Purfleet run this morning. It's also the first time I've filmed this flow which I think only started last month (is that right?). Will be waiting to see if it means there are some days that I can see two DCR workings within an hour or two on the South London Line - this along with the already fairly well established Grain-Chessington one. It might be too much to ask, for both to have a 56 on the front but a 60 on each would also be quite satisfactory.
You never know your luck ...... RTT currently have STPs showing for tomorrows 0221 6O34 Willesden to Cliffe Brett Marine and 0338 6O83 Willesden to Angerstein Wharf, I'm certainly not betting my pensions that they'll both run but stranger things have happened, downsides of course are that you'll need to set your alarm rather early and it'll be a 60 on both, 046 & 055, as the 56s are still at Rectory Jct
