Steam race. Tangmere 34067 catches "4 SUB" @ Brixton. "White Cliffs Circular" 22/12/11

White Cliffs Circular. London Victoria-Dover & return on 22 Dec 2011. Class 37 685 Loch Arkaig is at the rear of the train. Organised by Steam Dreams. This video follows on from [ Steam. Tangmere 34067+"4 SUB" race Victoria-Brixton. "White Cliffs Circular" 22/12/11 ]

Tangmere catches the "4 SUB" at Brixton, but it's the wrong sort of "4 SUB". We have actually caught the 0939 Victoria - Dartford and left the 0941 London Victoria to London Bridge behind at Battersea Park or Battersea Dogs Home.

Real 4 SUBs are described on:-

Southern Region enthusiasts believe that the modern class 455 units were built at Eastleigh from the remains of the old 4 SUBs and are "4 SUBs with double glazing".

Hello, First, I hope you had a great Christmas. Wish you a Happy New Year and keep up the good work in 2012. I enjoyed our e-discussion on 4-SUB's. I think what you filmed there crossing the South Eastern main line is Southern 377. Unless that was something unusual the only down Southern trains on the South London Line are the Victoria-London Bridge trains. I don't think that was a Dartford train in your film. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Tangmere was blocking the normal route for the Dartford train. Tangmere left from Victoria p7 and the Dartford train often leaves from p8. However that is just speculation of course.
