It's August 1995 and a trip out to the seaside! Inter-City ran some summer Saturday specials from Birmingham to Ramsgate. They tended to use class 47/9 although odd locos did work (like a pair of class 31s & a Deltic) these trains. This one features a loco sponsered by Rail Magazine, 37 201 piloted an Inter-City 47/8 for the day. We start at Kensington Olympia where we see a couple of DMUs on the Willesdon-Clapham service before the Ramsgate service arrives. At Ramsgate we see the locos run round plus a couple of NSE EMUs. We finish back at Kenny O with the train departing and a Valanta powered Inter_City 125 HST passes through on one of the Eurostar feeder services from Manchester, these workings could only carry passengers booked on Eurostar so normally had more train crew on baord than fare paying passengers!
