| Southern's Mk1 EMUs - the very last run 26th November 2005 |
| At Lewes the train waited in platform 1 for some seven minutes for the 12.14 departure to Brighton to pass through. With the kind assistance of the guard, the last passenger to board was a Mr. Colin Watts who is probably the last passenger ever to board a timetabled mainline MK1 EMU service. Similarly, in undertaking the signalling of the shunt move at Lewes, signalman Colin Packham (of Lewes Signal Box) became the last signalman to witness their own signalling move of a passenger carrying mainline Mk1 EMU service. |

The size we are able to reproduce
photographs on this website (for download time reasons) does not do justice to the
original photograph which is considerably more panoramic and impressive. A passenger

the very last time. photograph by Richard Thomas. |
