    What a silly post. Those of us who spend a day in the country with our camera but donate rather than buy a ticket won’t be counted in visitor figures. Hope the air isn’t too rarified on that high horse of yours.

    No need to explain yourself Herr Uhu, you’re well known for supporting financially the railways you visit.

    76017 is back in service tomorrow, along with the DMU. I understand that 76017 is intended to be in service this weekend, though Sunday is a little unclear at present. It will either be diesels on both sets, with 76017 on the Sunday lunch train, or Hastings and Knowle may be double heading. Afraid I won't be able to update this before it happens.

    Just my luck. Five minutes after I post that, I get a message that it's 76017 on both days, with Knowle and Hastings working the Sunday Lunch train!

    Coming back to photography at Rolvenden if I may please. With all the usual caveats I am thinking about 76017 to start the day tomorrow, before moving on to 34059 later.

    Am I right in thinking that the only public access actually at the station area is only on the platform? And on the platform, is the raised viewing area the same one I have picked up from a 2015 photo. ie it's not been raised since then.

    I am aware of the photo spots the Tenterden side of the road xing, but I much prefer to try and include parts of railway infrastrucure in my photos when I can. All down to this dreadful fussiness I am inflicted with!

    Afraid so. It's the platform and the viewing area.
