RMweb Gold C126 Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2020 Dear all, Sorry if this has been happening for a while and is mentioned here elsewhere; my visits to RMWeb are not as frequent as ideal. Tracing an engineers' train, top and tailed with 73s, I overtook on the way to Sussex on Tuesday, 11th Aug., I came across the attached "623R" (Obfuscated): a Voyager unit under Civil Engineers' control. Does anyone know what these are being run for? As the railway descends into a Serpell-like network, surely there can not be new services planned, restoring the lovely Sussex-Kensington Olympia-northwards trains, can there? If there are, may I vote for Eastbourne as a destination, please! Any info would be much appreciated. Hope this is of interest to others. Thanks. 3 Bridges Voyager SR 110820.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wouldn't a tamper from Eastbourne to Manchester be more comfortable than a Voyager ??!? 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
