Our first section of the programme covers the busy route between the north of Ipswich to just east of Bury St Edmunds. This route sees a mixture of passenger and freight services; which includes container trains, stone workings as well as Stadler electric and bi-mode units on passenger services. A highlight includes the long straight just to the east of Thurston offering views of trains dipping down and running up the grades.
We are off to Kent next for a journey from north-east of Ashford and then on towards Dover, north to Sandwich and Minster, to the west of Ramsgate. Class 375 and 377 electric units as well as Hitachi Class 395s all appear on a variety of workings. The section includes the active signalboxes at Chartham and Sturry.
It’s the West Somerset Railways next with a quick visit featuring preserved Class 33 number D6575 and Steam in the form of 7812 ‘Erlestoke Manor’ and the new 6880 ‘Betton Grange’.
