SR Merchant Navy Class 35028 Clan Line, running as 35017 Belgian Marine is rostered to head the Friday 9/12/2011 VSOE Christmas Luncheon Special, from Victoria, out via the Surrey hills and back to Victoria. In the running schedule there is a 16 minute stand to gain a path onto the South West main line, from the Addlestone loop.
Here we capture that stand, Clan line running gently to a stop, the wait, clearance and the pull away. Bit of slip from Clan line on departure from signal WK549, At the rear is a class 67 - 67005 Queens Messenger, one of the units used to power the royal train.
Not surprised BM slipped with this load and a bit of a tight curve. Nice video. Barry.
