Very much the main event. Such a beautiful livery and one that everyone involved with should be very proud of. Here's @Se_Railway's 465 908 "Chris Green MBE" arriving into Bromley Cross, with 2K76 from Canterbury East to London Victoria. @SteveWhiteRail @NSEFriends – at Bromley, London

A fantastic day celebrating 40 years of Network SouthEast! 🚆 Last week, our NSE 40th Tour took passengers from London Victoria across our network aboard an iconic NSE livery train. Brilliant day bringing everyone together to share the NSE legacy. #NetworkSouthEast #NSE40

Just done the Railtour around Kent from Victoria and back and it was very successful all round and cleared some rare track as well as speeding through some stations at line speed you wouldn’t usually speed through, Canterbury East, Faversham and Gillingham to name a few but it was a great experience 🔴🔵⚪️
