Spotless Brighton built 4P Fairburn tank No. 42073 arrives at Cill with the 5.56am newspaper and parcels train from Epple. Once the platform staff have unloaded the remaining parcels No. 42073 will run round its train.

The stock from the parcels train is now shunted into the loop to clear the platform for the arrival at 7.01am of the first passenger service of the day, the 6.30am pull-push train from Epple. Today this is powered by M7 No. 30108.

After the driver has changed ends the pull-push service will depart at 7.06am sharp. Timekeeping is crucial as this service is booked to cross the 7.20am from Epple at Beresford at 7.30am. 20 minutes after the pull-push has departed 42073 will follow with the 7†26am parcels ECS which crosses the 7.20am from Epple at Grenham at 7.39am.
