Flush D'Or Railtour
 |
(left) Whilst awaiting departure from Deal
there was time to reflect upon the overlapping eras seen from the end of the down platform
- a Mk. 1 EMU, modern speed restriction sign, rail-post semaphore signal and in the
distance by the modern full barrier level crossing a Southern Railway type
"glasshouse" signal box, photograph by Colin Duff . (right) Our driver who took the tour from Ramsgate (ECS) through to Tonbridge, poses at Deal, photograph by R.M. Brumé. |

(left) The
second reversal of the day was in platform 4 at Chislehurst where modern station
"furniture" is much in evidence. The station was reached from the Chatham
lines via the reversible Chatham loop. This reversal did not require passengers to
de-train. The special departed the way it arrived but at Otford Junction took
the down Bat & ball line to reach Sevenoaks. Note travelling from Ashford to Ore not
via Rye was achieved via London Travelcard zone 5, photograph by Colin Duff, |
