Something a bit different to
Something a bit different to the norm for me, as the usually pure steam Bluebell Railway would see the rarity of a chorus of Diesel locomotives running along the line, as they held their first Diesel Gala since 2018.
The gala would see a total of 6 diesel locomotives in action, 4 of which would be visitors, consiting of Class 37 D6851 'Flopsie' (Locomotive Services Limited), Class 20 D8188 (Mid Hants Railway), Class 14 D9551 (Severn Valley Railway), and Class 33 No. 33111 (Swanage Railway). The 33 would be paired up with the Bluebell's own 4VEP No. 3417 'Gordon Pettitt', running in a 'push pull' fashion. This would be the first time 3417 would travel the full length of the line, as well as the first time it has carried passengers in over a decade.
Alongside the visitors, the home fleet would feature Class 09 D4106, and Class 73 E6040 'The Bluebell Railway', the latter having not been featured into the timetable to begin with, but having been accepted into traffic the day before, was slotted in to top and tail with one of the Class 20s runs, thus hauling its first passenger train on the line.
The weather would unfortunately see rain for most of the day, which means some of the shots aren't as good as hoped, but nonetheless it was great to capture the rarity of some impressive diesel locomotives running along the Sussex Branch.
