Sale of the Century Railtour Recycled - Part 2
Saturday 3rd May 2025

Report by John Dyer


In darkness, we cover Siding 6 to 3ch from the end. Departure behind 57303 is via Line 'S', Thorpe Jn, then Line 'B' and the trailing crossover at 0m 38ch to gain the Down Lowestoft line. We retrace our outward route to Brundall Jn, where our late running means we have to wait for 755335 on the 22.17 from Yarmouth to Norwich to clear the single line via Acle instead of crossing it at that station, as booked. Then, we are on to the site of Breydon Jn and the Down Acle to arrive in Great Yarmouth P2 some 19 minutes late - not bad for a tour which had started over 15 hours earlier.

In closing, thanks to all our Society volunteers who spend an inordinate amount of time getting the show on the road and for the support of Eastern Rail Services, GBRf and NR for a very successful railtour.

As ever, a Society tour would not be complete without a comprehensive itinerary, route map and track diagrams covering the complex track layouts. Thank you on behalf of all the participants on the tour.
