What about class 92s? Any potential need for them to go that way?


They wouldn't be using HS1 anyway would they?

ISTR that at present 92s don't have their signalling configured for HS1. If
any freight is to use HS1, this will have to be done, and 92s will haul any
freight on HS1 between Dollands Moor and Rainham. They *could* use
Southfleet to Fawkham if it's still open, though I can't really see the
point, as freight for south and west London (and Willesden/WCML, at least if
Barking to Gospel Oak doesn't get electrified) might as well use the
existing route via Maidstone East.
