2424 Moves to Stewarts Lane |
|
 |
Thursday 8th February, a couple of inches of snow threatens to paralyse travel and normal life in the South of England and James Stearn decides to use his unexpected day off school to photograph trains. At Stratford (London) he catches u2424 being hauled from its C6 overhaul at Ilford bound, not for store at Eastleigh, but for Stewarts Lane - note carefully the destination speculators! photograph by James Stearn |

The last Class 442 unit left at Bournemouth T&RSMD, u2416, was delivered to Eastleigh Works on 3rd May 2007. There is a rumour that the units in store have already been measured up for vinyl overlays - the big question is for whose livery and for how many units? There is currently informed speculation and projection about the future of Class 442 units but no definitive plan yet! |
