Description
In June/July 2023, one of GBRfs weedkiller sets was based at Tonbridge for a few weeks to spray most of the South East. I caught it a few times, but sadly most of it ran overnight. Booked motive power was Class 69s, however due to a failure of one a rare sight of a Class 73 on this train was used. All trains ran as 3Q00

In order we see:
1: 69007 & 69004 departing Tonbridge - my first time seeing 007 on the move!
2: 69007 & 69004 passing Penshurst, heading back to base
3-4: 73128/69004 arriving and departing Tonbridge
5: 69002 & 69004 passing Tunbridge Wells

Enjoy!
