Steam train in Dulwich

[paulc]

Just heard it go by!

Must be one of these shown on www.ianvisits.co.uk - different date but same idea.

Shown on estimated timetable for 28th July and map as roughly 11.15 so that would be about the right timing.

Guessing it's this either steamdreams or The Sunny South Special.

Be great to just hail the steam train and pop down to the coast for the day!

Wow!!

Thanks paulc, we heard it go by too, so it's good to know why it was going past. Toddler thought it was brilliant (even though we could only hear it!) .

I heard it too. Reminded me of living in Brixton where we used to hear it on a semi-regular basis :-) I once did a 72hr journey on a steam train from Delhi down south. I'm so glad I was in India during the time they were still running. It was not the cleanest way to travel though.

We took the steam train to Dorset when I was a child, before we had a car.

You could stick your head out of the window and get covered in black smudges.

Don't wish to ruin the parade but this won't have come thru Dulwich looking at those maps. Denmark Hill to Peckham and beyond is used quite regularly, but you never usually heare them as the hill from loughborough junction to denamrk is quite steep so they tend to coast through.

If you look here for mailine UK steam, you'll see what's running where in the UK.

Next visit, according to the website is 4th September, late in the day.
