A less than sharp shot of a Maunsell 4-COR 'Nelson' EMU on a down Victoria to Portsmouth working approaching Mitcham Junction.

<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>Previous | Next<b><u>Southern Electric.</b></u><p>April 30th 1972 and a sad day as we see here with the penultimate down working of the Brighton Belle which I have noted as being taken near Balcombe on the approach to the Ouse Valley viaduct.
