Britannia Approaching Wandsworth Road

On 5th October 2024, British Railways steam locomotive 70000 Britannia passed through Wandsworth Road station in London hauling the Golden Arrow.

Before the Channel Tunnel was built, the Golden Arrow was a luxury boat train from London to Dover and was possibly unique in having a Union Flag and French Tricolour on the buffer beam showing it was a connection to France, connecting with the cross channel ferries.

On the 5th October 2024, the train, run by Saphos Trains, departed Norwich at 06:03 and reached Canterbury at 12:52, having passed through Wandsworth Road at 10:46.
