Thank you @dbyers3897 I haven't got much any history on it but here is a little bit i copy and pasted of Wikipedia but the the first route it done was the Dover Ramsgate & Chatham mainline that ran up and down from London down into southeast Kent. I think its mentioned bellow I've skied it but haven't had time to read it. INFORMATION ON WIKIPEDIA: 35028 was built at Eastleigh Works in 1948. After a few weeks running in, it was allocated first to Dover and then to Stewarts Lane shed in London, from where it worked heavy trains on the trunk routes to the South East Channel ports, frequently working the prestige expresses, Golden Arrow and the Night Ferry. After rebuilding in 1959, it was initially allocated to Nine Elms shed, from where it headed such trains as the Bournemouth Belle and the Atlantic Coast Express. While working the latter in 1961, it was unofficially timed at 104 mph (167 km/h) passing Axminster. On 2 July 1967, Clan Line hauled a farewell special from London Waterloo to Bournemouth and back and thus ended its British Railways career.

You was on platform 1 for clanline???? Thought you’d take plat 2-3

Nah mate. Went to stay on p1 because p2&3 got really busy and they block the front of the steam train to full it up with water and as soon as the barrier was clear I got to see it as quick as I could
