Tonbridge to Redhill – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 30 September 2017

Alpine Sunset, Part 1: Cab view from Tonbridge to Redhill. Filmed from our preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 30 September 2017, during our Alpine Sunset railtour.
.
In this video we cover 19 miles and 56 chains, along the largely dead-straight run from Tonbridge to Redhill; this route was at one time operated by SR DEMU stock as part of the Tonbridge to Reading service.
.
Video footage and its soundtrack are from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60118 Tunbridge Wells.
.
This outing began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford to Alton and onto the preserved Mid-Hants Watercress Line to Alresford. Following a shuttle service to and from Alton, it then retraced its steps to Aldershot; it ran via Camberley to Ascot, then to Reading, before returning via Wokingham to Guildford where the outward route was then retraced.
