Class 57 No. 57310 (formerly Class 47 No. 47831) is seen hauling refurbished unit Nos. 375308 and 375304 on the four-track section east of Rainham. Originating from Derby and bound for Ramsgate, the train was stabled at Faversham overnight due to late running. The formation arrived at Ramsgate the following day. © Roger Goodrum
Class 57 No. 57310 once again, this time passing through Chestfield and Swalecliffe on the final leg of the journey to Ramsgate, after leaving the sidings at Faversham with unit Nos. 375308 and 375304. © Roger Goodrum
Wearing the new livery, No. 375308 is seen leaving Strood with the 11:04 Medway Valley Line departure to Tonbridge. This viewpoint is afforded by a recently completed footbridge at the southern ends of the station's platforms. © Roger Goodrum
An open day at Ramsgate provided a chance to inspect the five-road maintenance depot, completed in 2008, up close. In this view, all vehicles of No. 375604, minus bogies, have been suspended in the air by a total of sixteen jacks. © David Glasspool
