<b><u>Southern Electric.</b></u><br>4-LAV unit 2952 rolls past Purley Oaks station on July 7th, 1963. The subject is actually a very small part of an Ansco 35mm colour slide hence the lesser quality of the image. Previous | Next<b><u>Southern Electric.</b></u><br>Quite obviously not the best shot in the world but a considerable improvement on the version shown elsewhere in thsi gallery. At least technology and a refined technique has enabled me to identify the leading unit which is 6-PAN 3026 seen passing Wandsworth Common whilst the '4' headcode denotes a Victoria to Brighton fast train.<br> John Atkinson has kindly supplied this gem of information: <i>the leading MBS is the 6-PUL one (with the drop down sidelights as opposed to sliding ones at the top) which this unit gained in 1949 after accident damage at London Bridge. This makes it coach 11006 so the second coach is 10032 followed by 12265. I see a 6-PUL unit is attached to the rear of the train as the Pullman car is helpfully visible beyond the 4-SUB unit.<i>
