The final journey of the final day at the @bluebellrailway#DieselGala.
3417 goes home to Strawberry Hill tomorrow, but not until it has performed one last very special job…. We’ll explain in the morning.
For now, thank you to everyone involved in making the gala happen.

Our NSE liveried train now has new name plates. This was a job we were more than happy to do!
Thanks Chris Green for joining our @railway200 celebrations at Dover Priory earlier this week and visiting Thanet Parkway ❤️👇
