London Victoria

GB Railfreight 66719 has just brought the stock for UK Railtours' excursion to the Midland Railway Centre in Derbyshire into London Victoria and will travel at the rear of the train with 66753 at the head. Arrival was just after 07.10 in plenty of time for the 07.47 departure on Saturday, 4th May 2019. This was an unusual choice of starting point for a tour heading north, crossing the Thames twice within 10 minutes and creeping round Longhedge and Latchmere Junctions to gain the London Overground West London Line to Willesden Junction. It then took the LO North London Line to Gospel Oak and the GOBLIN to just east of Crouch Hill before traversing the spur up to the ECML at Harringay that is not normally used by passenger trains. After all this the train was then free to set its sights to the north.
