We start this film with a brief stop at Paddock Wood to see 70013 Oliver Cromwell BR 7MT "Britannia" Class, race through the station en route from Waterloo to Folkestone Harbour, for three runs along the 1 in 30 branch line. Apart from the number 72 to Cheriton getting in the way, all went well. On the the second run up the branch look out for the women at the level crossing being dragged away by her two terrified dogs. The future of the line is still very much in doubt, although it seems the line will now be mothballed. The "Remembrance Line Association" has been set up to try and save the line.
