Running Late
Viewed from a train waiting to depart from platform 1 at Redhill, is a late running Victoria bound service arriving in platform 2. As the class 377 formation draws to a halt, a late running Thameslink service speeds through on the Down Fast line destined for Horsham.
The slowish shutter speed has captured the Southern 377, but the speeding Thameslink is blurred. I quite like the way I've (purely by chance!) captured the 'ThamesLink' legend on the side of the class 700 between the lamp post and the front of the 377.
The Thameslink train was originally planned to stop at Redhill (and other intermediate stations), but due to late running it ran fast from East Croydon to Gatwick Airport to make up lost time.
