A long way from the glue the paper up with a ladder and a bucket. Electronic boards on the corner of Olympia Way. Thousands of people from all over the world will pass this point during the year as they attend exhibitions.

On Route to the Mendips
A class 59 brings a train of Mendip Rail stone hoppers under Kensington High Street into Kensington Olympia Station. This is an example of the many freight trains that use the West London Line. The Class 59's were a pre-privatisation example of a freight operator (Foster Yeomans) choosing to purchase its own locomotives instead of relying upon the available British Railways traction to haul its stone trains. Others followed suit - this locomotive was supplied to National Power for merry-go-round power station trains. The successors to the class 59's, Class 66 are now to be found throughout the UK Rail network in the many train operating company liveries that have sprung up since privatisation.
DB Schenker Rail (UK) took over the English Welsh & Scottish Railway Company and used this loco, 59206, to display their new livery in January 2009 at the National Railway Museum. It was also renamed in keeping with its new role on the Mendip stone trains - John F. Yeoman Rail Pioneer. Thus a class 59 has sort of come full circle.
