The Last Semaphore
The day was diabolical, there was very little going on in East Kent worthy of getting a soaking for. But i had a free day and i was a long way from home.
I then noticed that the Kent test train had been activated on RTT. Its test circuit would take it through Deal on the East Kent Coast. A place where very little of interest happens in railway terms but the home of the last semaphores in Kent.
I had to make the effort, I may never get another chance.
So...on the wettest of wet miserable days and the greyest of skies the 1107 Tunbridge to Tunbridge test train heads for Rochester beneath the beautiful 1930s signal box and a fine home starter signal and also a very wet reasonably enthusiastic enthusiast.
73965 leads 73961.
