Cab view (1) from Tonbridge to Clapham Junction, via Catford. Filmed from the Hastings DEMU on Saturday 27 May 2017, during our Oxford Rover railtour.
.
Video footage is from an unattended cab-camera (motor coach 60116 Mountfield).
.
There is a brief rain-shower at the start, and some light rain on part of the Catford Loop, but we hope this provides further interest and does not detract from your enjoyment!

Corrections:
0:33 the caption should refer to Tonbridge platform 2, not 3;
0:58 the caption should say West, not East;
37:30 we pass the site of East Brixton station (closed 1976);
32:47 the former Crystal Palace High Level branch (closed 1954) converged from the left.
