thanks berwick and 'flying pig'
 

thanks 'flying pig' ive also seen at hither green class 08 shunters in red livery?thats explained it for me, but i have seen a couple of 66s in 'EWS' livery there?

Yup, EWS still seem to operate in Grove Park sidings so it's to be expexted that you'll see them at Hither Green - but I think that they're 'guesting' there rather than residing. The other regular visitor is the banana coloured Serco test train, consisting of top & tail 37s.

so can we say hither green is closed as a depot ?

Well it depends on how you define a depot, but I'd say no it isn't closed as although it doesn't appear to be a home for locos, Balfour Beatty seems to be fuelling, stabling, & maintaining OTMs and the like there.

well i class a depot as a place that homes locos
like toton etc. but going by platform 5 it says hither green is closed

when at the depot today for the first time i actually saw a class 59 in 'HANSON' livery, and it was on light engine and went down to grove park stn and back ,i didnt get the number though!ill try and get it though!this info is strange but true,

59s
 

did that suprise anyone?seing a class 59,it certainly surprised me and in 'HANSON' livery

one more thing on a charing x bound train,when passing the buildings it 'CLEARLY' states that 'balfour beattys' there and on the other building it says 'EWS hither green'?

59101. 59102. 59103. 59104. perhaps

i think it was 59101,but ive heard hither green closed too,but i live down the road from it and it dosnt seem closed,confusing,do you think,and the buildings i passed with 'ews hither green' written on it?confusing world a,
