Photos from a day chasing 'The Atomic Harbour Master' in London and Kent featuring 86101 and EPS 37601/603, the charter was photographed at Harrow and Wealdstone, Queens Park, Headcorn, Folkstone Harbour, Somewhere outside of Ashford, Dungeness, Lydd Town, Appledore and again at Ashford International. Big Ta to Marcus Dawson for ferrying us around all afternoon, and to FCC and Chiltern Railway's Finest employees for the huge amount of on-train updates!

24/10 - A few London bits
A few pics from a dissapointing day in London, I had hoped to see 73212 and 213 with a Tonbridge to Barrow Hill move, but that was caped and sent back, then onto the GN for 86101, but was sent via the Hertford Loop!! Either way, a few phots from Elstree and Borehamwood, and one from Alexandra Palace.
