Class 395 Javelin with the ex-11.37 Southeastern service from St. Pancras International to Margate (via HS1 as far as Ashford International) calling at the brand new Thanet Parkway station on its First Day of public passenger services, Monday, 31st July 2023. This was the train I travelled down on, rather than from Victoria which route is slower, of course, as I had already purchased my ticket the previous Thursday to do another of my First Day visits, as I did with the Edinburgh Trams Newhaven extension on 7th June.
