VARIOUS STUFF - LONDON 1985 and 1986
BACK TO INDEX

In 1985 and 1986 I visited London to see realtives and managed to find time for a quick look at a couple of Southern Region railway stations, a new world to a North West lad like me!


10 August 1985 at London Victoria, with 73117 and 73110 on Gatwick Express services


73142 and some sort of EMU at Victoria, I never got into knowing what class of 3rd rail unit was what!

73123 working one of the Gatwick Express services it was named after, 10 August 1985.

Back on more familiar ground where the electricity is supplied from wires in the air instead of along the track! 86231 works my train home, the 1115 Euston - Manchester Piccadilly 12 August 1985.

On next year's London visit I travelled from Waterloo - Clapham Junction on this unit.
