A visit to Tonbridge gave me the opportunity to visit the famous footbridge across the West Yard.
Includes clips of the new class 69 locos getting ready for a day out to the coast.
The yard is spanned by a long footbridge giving views of the yard, Jubilee stabling sidings and the line to Redhill. The station can also be seen in the distance.
At the start of my visit there were 8 class 73 locos, 2 class 69 and 1 class 66.
I will upload a separate video of activity at the station.

It always amazes me that I watched these same '73's at Tonbridge when I was a teenager in the early 80's. What great workhorses they've been, over the course of several decades.

I remember, as a child, watching a steam-engine shunting goods-wagons in that yard, the days when more of Britain's freight moved by rail.

Thank you. What an interesting area. This is one of the best mish-mashes of train antics ever! A signaling nightmare/paradise depending on your POV.

Nice, i been seeing them 69's float past my gaff, reminding me of when grids worked the Mountfield gypsum along the Hastings branch. And i havn't seen 56's in that yard since 1993!! . . Ex 56031 and 56057 (i painted a model of that one, on my channel btw) when in old Rf livery! I would never of thought this yard would be this interesting back when first here in 1983! But then again, i never would of thought i'd be a spotter eneding up with a lady loco driver breifly during my tenure on this earth!! I took her to this very bridge a few times. It was beyond heaven hehe x

The track analysis train is luxurious. 47 years ago, as a Junior Tech, I assisted a Senior to do track analysis on part of the Bournemouth line. We loaded a big, heavy wooden box full of all-mechanical accelerometers and pen-recorders onto a service train, set up the paper graphs and wound it up, then pressed the tit to record specific track lengths of interest located by observing mileposts. How things change!

There was nothing much showing on RTT through Tonbridge but when I got to the yard it all kicked off. Was only there for 30 minutes.

The Class 707 Desiro City cascaded from South Western Railway to Southeastern have now entered service and I wonder if they can go little bit further on the Southeastern network. Plus they have been nicknamed as “City Beam”.

The yard is a longer walk from the station than it looks. Check a map before you set out to make sure you know the way. Well worth the effort.

Seems daft that there is not a least one line with third rail in the yard. Why start the diesels up just to get to the station?
@BoogiesTrains
@BoogiesTrains 2 года назад
I'm not sure that the 73s have third rail shoes fitted. They left for Hastings on diesel.
@steveluckhurst2350

@@BoogiesTrains As far as I know, with the possible exception of those on the Caledonian sleeper, no 73s have had their shoegear removed.

This looks like a good train watching spot for GBRF!!! Of interest, that bridge you were standing on over the yard, is that exclusively for the use of GBRF, or is it general public access?
@BoogiesTrains
@BoogiesTrains 2 года назад
It is a good spot. The footbridge is a public footpath. The walk from the station is about 12 minutes according to Google Maps. I had my bicycle so it was a bit quicker.

@tobys_transport_videos 2 года назад
Thanks, I've since looked into it and I see what you mean. 🙂 Are there any other freight yards you can think of that are good for train watching and not too far from a station? I'm particularly interested in GBRF, but any freight operator is worthwhile 🙂 🚂

Thanks for your replies, Ian! I ask this as I only know a fraction of Britain's rail network. I'm not actually a Brit - I'm an Aussie that prefers British stuff over most of what's on offer here 🙂 Examples of this can be seen on my own channel.
