What did I see? big yellow train

[lufbramatt]

My train had to use a different platform at margate the morning due to the normal one being occupied by a train composed of a rake of 5-6 yellow, older style carriages with a GB Railfreight diesel loco on each end. There were very bright spotlights underneath the carriages pointing outwards.

What would this train be used for?

Excellent thanks for that, knew I could rely on this place for a quick answer

BIG ?

Pffft !

haha yes point taken, but down this corner of the country normally I only really see 4 car EMU sets and the odd Javelin so 6 carriages and two diesel locos stood at a station is quite an impressive sight!

I have noticed big sections of concrete based track on the HS1 line between Ebbsfleet and St. Pancras.
