The Cogload Climber - a photo on Flickriver

            The last time I tried to get this shot, Hastings DEMU 1001 only made it as far as Tunbridge Wells in Kent before an errant fire suppression system brought the railtour to a halt. The weather was better that day as well! 1001 also has an extra coach now, and it's the 'proper' Hastings narrow bodied width. The two 'full width' carriages from a standard sized EMU can be seen half way along the train. 

It was an early start to get to Cromwell Road between West Brompton and Kensington Olympia on the West London Line to get this shot. And not even having the Central Line terminating at White City stopped me. I just took my fold up bike and cycled the rest of the way. So here is the seven coach Hastings DEMU 1001 on the 'Cogload Climber' Railtour heading to Exeter through West London. It would return late evening via a stop London Waterloo. An outstanding run post departure meant that even though 1001 had left Hastings 30+ late it arrived here a few minutes early!
