The westbound demolition trains in 1968/9 were hauled by class 24 diesel locomotives with diesel shunters being used on eastbound trains.
Note that, coming eastbound, traffic for Maidstone is signed to use the A21 (north ).
According to ET, the police report stated that, "The officers also noted that the driver of the Cadillac was unable to maintain lane position as they traveled eastbound."
Not useful considering we are supposed to be headed eastbound.
This in turn caused the Volkswagen to collide with the Fiat being driven eastbound by Mr McLaren, who died at the scene.
