(above left) With the platform clock
in the background (barely visible left - trust us, it shows in the full size photograph!)
showing 11.02.01 and station staff checking their watches the 8 car formation pulls out of
platform 10, and (above right) within the speed limit the units power away towards
Brighton. (below left)The passenger information
screens, both inside and outside of the units, were clearly displaying the significance of
this working, and (below right) it was a very enjoyable fun run, as witnessed by the
passengers in the rear DMCO of the leading unit 377472 who upon hearing the train
was running at 100mph feigned being on a theme park thrill ride! |
