Summary

A journey from London Victoria around the ‘Garden of England’ with a break at beautiful Canterbury. Steam hauled by ex Southern Railway Bullied West Country Class No. 34067 ‘Tangmere’ in full Golden Arrow regalia! Seen here on the 1:30 Climb up the harbour branch line.

SR BoB Class 4-6-2 no 34067 Tangmere Taunton to Canterbury via Folkestone Harbour. Possibly the last Steam Train on this line before it is removed. This is a train with a real ‘wow’ factor that any steam enthusiast would not want to miss on a circular tour of over 200 miles hauled by Southern Railway Battle of Britain Pacific No 34067 ‘Tangmere’ complete with the Golden Arrow regalia. The highlight of the day being the 1 in 30 climb up the soon to be closed branch from Folkestone Harbour. The Golden Arrow was a luxury train of the Southern Railway and later British Railways that linked London with Dover, where passengers took the ferry to Calais to join the Flèche d’Or of the Chemin de Fer du Nord and later SNCF that took them onto Paris.
