A short trip out locally to enjoy the nice spring weather. I had identified a couple of freight movements that I thought might be worth preserving for posterity.

Been to Beckenham Junction and it’s a good station. Haven’t been to Shortlands but been past it.

Interesting video. Unfortunately the graffiti sees to be worsening.

Good video as always. I have often been on Orpington to Victoria stoppers that get held up at Shortlands waiting for a fast to come through. When the delay is more than a couple of minutes, as was the case here, I wonder why the signallers don't let the stopper through and then put it in the loop at Kent House. Is it the result of pre-programmed signals and consequent absence of flexibility?

The stopper is occasionally allowed to go on and might be looped at Kent House or even Herne Hill. The latter is difficult because Thameslink is usually coming along soon and needs to be on time at Blackfriars.
