One of the several 'last trains' on the Harbour Branch, this one descending the incline with Battle of Britain class 34067 'Tangmere' trailing and headed by class 67 diesel 67 006 'Royal Sovereign'. Most of the branch, including the part seen here, is on a gradient of 1 in 30, severe by railway standards.
