Another few photos from Yesterday’s great @hastingsdiesels.co.uk “Wymondham Winder” Railtour, on the Longest day of the year and quite possibly the warmest day of the year.
A fantastic Railtour, one of the best I’ve been on, full praise to Hastings Diesels and GBRf 👏

The consist of today’s @hastingsdiesels.co.uk 🇬🇧 #WymondhamWinder train to #Norwich includes a lovely #buffet @diningcar.at with “The BIG Bar”, based on a former, 1970s, buffet coach which operated i.a. on the #Brighton line. It was of the “4-BIG” type, IG being the old telegraphic code for Brighton.

Another tour with @hastingsdiesels.co.uk this time to Norwich. If anyone was trying to have a lie in near to Finchley Road & Frognal when the engines powered up just now, they'll be well and truly awake now!

For those of you in a very warm Norwich, and heading back towards Hastings on our #WymondhamWinder, I can highly recommend the free chilled water-bottle refilling point on the station concourse to the right of the gateline
