I was just looking at old b&w prints from my Box Brownie camera 40

33) on the Cliffe - Uddingston cement train, which they worked as far
as York.

Apologies if this question has been answered before, but which route
did this train take between Kent and the ECML?

It came onto the Eastern Region via the curve from Haringey Park
Junction, and was booked to go into Ferme Park for examination. It's
route to Haringey was, I believe, via Kew, Acton, Neasden, Dudding
Hill, and Junction Road Junction.

It may also have run on occasion via the North London, and down the
incline into Copenhagen Tunnel - the Southern Region certainly ran
some route learning trains that way, using a 33 and a saloon.
