Fastest climb of Tenderden bank? KESR Santa Specials with Swiftsure, Sapper & 78019 22/12/23

Austerity tanks Swiftsure and Sapper put on a fine display climbing Tenderden bank on Friday 22 December and open this film of the Kent and East Sussex Railway's intensive Santa Special service.
We then go to Tenderden Town station, where we see some close ups of visiting locomotive No.78019 and a departure with class 20 20087 diesel on the back. Shunting follows and Switsure arrives.
We then visit a number of locations along the line, finishing at the North Pole AKA Northiam.
