Being based at New Cross Gate depot, I 'sign' Highbury & Islington to New Cross/Crystal Palace/West Croydon/Clapham Junction/Battersea Park. After 3 years I kind of see it as all one route really as we do them all so often. We cross under the Thames about 8 times a shift. At the end of 2012 I did enjoy doing the Clapham route as it was new and exciting, but now it's just the usual. Personally I like driving south of New Cross Gate. It's green, it's open, we can go faster than the rest of the line ( I love opening up to 60mph...just because I can!). My favourite bit though is the Down Sydenham Spur. (From Sydenham to Crystal Palace). It's a single line, lined with trees and it feels like you could be in the middle of nowhere!

ECML; I once did 114.6mph for some considerable distance with a Deltic and 8! Look for the train timings on the RMweb thread "Fastest Deltics". Someone who rode on the train kept a log of the journey and it re-appeared on there a couple of years ago.
