Hoo Junction to Wembley Yard
From the cab of EWS Class 66038 this journey was used for
crew training along the fascinating route between Hoo Junction
in Kent and Wembley Yard in West London.
A start is made by picking up a cement wagon from the siding
before proceeding to the No. 1 reception line and picking up a
further nine cargo wagons. Our route will take us through
Gravesend, Dartford, Crayford, Sidcup, Lee, Hither Green,
Lewisham, Nunhead, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, Clapham
High Street, Wandsworth Road, Factory Junction, Longhedge
Junction, Latchmere junctions 3,1 and 2 after which we cross the
River Thames at Battersea Bridge and on through Kensington
Olympia, North Pole Junction, Mitre Bridge Junction, West
London Junction and into the extensive Wembley Yard where the
wagons are dropped off after passing through much of the yard.
This was made in conjunction with EWS and operated
over many freight-only routes.
Approximately 2 hours duration
