RTW75 on route 487 at Ebbsfleet Stn, July 2006, during a Gravesend Running Day. For this journey Roger Wright asked me to act as conductor/navigator. Unfortunately my camera was misbehaving, something to do with grease from my lunch getting on the lens! During the day Roger also worked a 498 journey.
