Election day Grid

56094 comes off the Strood (Medway Valley) line at Paddock Wood with 6Y86 1330 Halling Colas to Hoo Junction Up Yard departmental working conveying new concrete sleepers. Not only UK election day but American Independence Day, we're going left it seems while all around turn to the right!! The main line here has certainly seen a decline in importance in recent years, Eurostars used this route until HS1 opened and prior to that London Victoria-Dover/Folkestone boat trains plied these metals. These days it's not much better than a half hourly interval local service southeast of Tonbridge.
