Summary

Description
English: Kent Coast to Victoria express near Bickley Junction.
View eastward, towards Bickley, Swanley Junction, Rochester and the Kent Coast resorts on the ex-LC&DR main line from London Victoria, at the spot where this main line runs under and interconnects with the ex-SER main line from the Channel Ports etc. via Ashford and Tonbridge to London (Charing Cross and Cannon Street). (In former days there was an ideal spot here accessible for watching traffic on both main lines and their connecting loops - immensely busy on a Summer Saturday). The train, no doubt from Ramsgate and Margate, is headed by a Bulleid Light Pacific still in SR livery, but with 'British Railways' on the tender: No. 34069 'Hawkinge', built 10/47 as No. 21C169, renumbered 6/48, withdrawn (unrebuilt) 11/63.
