Slam's Final Months These pages are an unashamed wallow in nostalgia recalling and celebrating the final months of slam door unit operation on the former Southern Region! |
Last Mk1s leave Stewarts Lane |
 |
 |
All three photographs by Belgian Marine On Monday 23rd January 2006, Southern's last Mk1 units at Stewarts Lane departed for Shoeburyness prior to scrapping. They were hauled by Brush Type 4 47840 "North Star" and were due to leave at 10/32 but actually departed an hour later due to difficulty extending buffers. As with previous moves to Shoeburyness the formation reversed at Battersea. Above right note Stratford shed's cockney sparrow motive (but it also carries Willesden shed plates) on the "Duff" and below the rear of 1866 displaying a headcode instead of blanks .... also note the EWS 59/2 passing overhead on the Ludgate Line. |
