    23rd January 2005A DEMU Day out at Folkestone
    Network Rail Departmental DEMU, 930301, was used on Sunday 23rd Jan to deice the line due to forecasts of wintery conditions hitting the UK on 23rd/24th Jan. The unit initally worked from Hastings to Folkestone East (via Tonbridge). It was planned to take the unit to Dover but restrictions on non corridor stock through Shakespere Tunnel prevented this from happening. More runs were made in the afternoon and evening from Hastings to Redhill via Tonbridge and Hastings to Eastbourne.
