Video should be out today, I had a really fun day with @LocoLover2 , @RD_Trains & @the-intercity and I would totally do this again. Thanks to the Swanage Railway for this unforgettable gala 🙏
With the Swanage Diesel Gala coming up, 37607, 58023, 20006 & 26007 were in a convoy off down to Swanage. I’m visiting there on the 9th with @LocoLover2 & @RD_Trains . 99004, a 4TC, 73119, 73141 & 33025 are all coming as well
So I haven’t been uploading much lately because I haven’t seen any special trains recently but I have finished making a ‘Train Horn & Whistle Compilation’ so I will upload that soon to make up for the lack of videos
Here are some photos I took on the Southeastern network on Saturday 🙂
With proof from SWR & Modern Railways, the Class 458/4s will start to be withdrawn during Summer 2026
This is because SWR will start introducing the 701/5s into service in the coming months making the 458s ‘not needed’ and ‘useless’. This is really disappointing news as the 458s never actually made it onto the Portsmouth Direct Line & it’s just a big waste of that £20 Refurbishment in 2024
They’ve had the exact same outcome as the Class 442s (which also got refurbished by SWR and put on the Portsmouth Direct Line then got withdrawn shortly after)
34046 ‘Braunton’ & 220028 at Reading on I believe its first day in service after its refurbishment (I also rode it and it’s quite nice, but still overcrowded.)

Nine Elms Junction & Grosvenor Junction today - 19/4/2026
These are probably some of my favourite photos I’ve taken yet. I kind of prefer ‘Lineside’ spots rather than actual stations sometimes
The next long video will come out when the ‘Paxman Quarrier’ railtour comes with a 56 on Sunday btw

Today Hastings Diesels’ glorious Thumpers visited Redhill today on a Railtour, so a video should be out now
I also went to go see 91s because yes :-)
