The 'William and Mary' railtour https://goo.gl/vCT1dw of 29 Jun 1985 with 2BIL and 4SUB units on the loop around the outside of the depot, which is still in use now, of course.[All pictures have been approved by Arlington for use in BLN and on our website]<br>[© Ian Mortimer 2018]
A series of pictures in the sequence of the tour, mostly from the Class 07 Loco cab on the final trip, (all by Ian Mortimer). This is at 'Crossing 1' where participants boarded and alighted.<br>[© Ian Mortimer 2018]

A great 'Vue' of the mainline connection, 73m 50ch from Waterloo, any further and the loco might be doing the trap point protecting the connection as well!<br>[© Ian Mortimer 2018]
