Description
BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 2010's
The Kent Coast + Canterbury West
11th to 13th November 2011
On a visit to see a dear old friend, who lives in Margate, I called in at Shakespeare Cliff near to Dover/Folkestone. I was hoping to see the Steam Locomotive 34067 "Tangmere" on her railtour, but as seen earlier there was a severe delay in Dover. I only managed to see EMU Class 375 and the High Speed EMU Class 395 high up above from the stunning cliff top. The next couple of days was spent briefly at Margate Station, Ramsgate Station and Canterbury West Station with it's historic Signalbox, which spans the tracks. Unfortunately on this occasion the box was shrouded in a huge white cover. The only traction seen for all the three locations, were as before 375 and 395 Class EMU's. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read, and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually.. Many thanks to all subscribers and for the likes, also to all those viewers whom over the years, have kindly shown an interest and appreciation in my material. If you have enjoyed this production, then please like and subscribe...
