Pint Sized
Electro diesels 73 212 and 73 109 lead 66 718 and it's train of MkII coaches through South Croydon on it's return trip from the Bluebell Railway to East Midlands Parkway.
The train had visited the East Sussex heritage railway during it's Beer Festival weekend, so hopefully participants of the tour enjoyed a pint or two during their visit.
For my part I'd enjoyed a couple (alright three) pints in a local pub before heading out to see the return working of the UK Railtours charter, so I blame the beer for an error of judgement in selecting such a poor location. That said I had assumed the train would have been routed through platform 3, on the right, instead of platform 4 and thereby providing a better view of the GBRf 73s.
