Long overdue return A2 bridge visit!
A location I've not visited since the days of departmental trains with 31s, 33s & 37's. Inspired by Alan H's recent posting a long overdue return to the A2 roadbridge between Bexley and Crayford was made. Here 60029 is seen passing the bridge, with the spire of St John the Evangelist (Bexley) church in the background. The train is the 0924 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Grain Foster Yeoman GBRf aggregates empties, 6Z70. Anyone visiting this spot for this train, if in this pathway, be aware it's booked to pass Bexley at almost the same time that a Charing Cross bound up service departs from Crayford. On this day it (the up stopper) passed me less than a minute after the 60 had run through the picture, this spot being virtually mid way between Bexley and Crayford stations.
