What appears to be an LBSC railway locomotive Douglas Earle Marsh No. 39 -later named Hartland Point, is approaching with a passenger train bound for Brighton - courtesy Alan Wallbank.

We are advised that Network Rail say that this could only happen in connection with other blockaded railway works.
