Description
In January 2021 GBRfs sole Class 59, 59003 was based out of Tonbridge, used primarily for driver training light engine runs. However, due to loco shortages the 59 got used on some unusual turns as seen here. Firstly we see it passing Paddock Wood working 0Z59 Tonbridge - Tonbridge via Ashford. Next up we see it at Leigh, drafted in last minute to work a Tonbridge - Tonbridge SITT turn, paired up with 73963. Finally, we see it at Beltring & again after a fast car move at Wateringbury working an engineers train from Tonbridge to Hoo Junction.

Enjoy!
