Trains at: New Beckenham - 29 July, 2020

With the South Eastern Main Line closed at Hither Green for ten days for the final stage of the re-signalling and transfer of control to Three Bridges, the line between Beckenham Junction and Lewisham gained extra traffic in the form of Hastings, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks to Charing Cross services diverted at Petts Wood to run via the Chatham Main Line to Beckenham Junction and then via the Beckenham Spur on to the Hayes branch. The spur has had no regular passenger traffic for many years. It was used regularly by ECS workings until a couple of years ago but now sees very little traffic. I went along to record the increased activity for posterity.
