u2424 in pltaform 9 - Down Fast - at Clapham Junction seen distantly from the Brighton side of the station

If the skies had been blue this shot taken at Clapham junction could have had an almost tropical look! As u2405 and u2411 are approaching London u2424 is leaving London with the 10.05 Waterloo to Poole service.

u2505 + u2411 arriving at Clapham Junction

...and only a few minutes later coming to a stop in platform 7 (Up Platform Loop) at Clapham Junction. Some enthusiasts (including the photographer) who were not able to get out earlier to take the Waterloo to Fratton and return working chose to join the train here to be assured of their seat on the next down working from Waterloo.
