Sussex Slammer Railtour
19th November 2005

 

1866 departing Victoria Originally scheduled as an ECS working to Lovers Walk Southern kindly permitted the train to convey passengers back to Brighton.  Leaving Victoria with a significant number of die-hard railtourers on board this was possibly both the last non-stop Victoria - Brighton service and the last mainline passenger run both by a MK1 slam door EMU.

3514 back at Brighton Happy railtourers make their way off the train at Brighton.  Following this the queue at the ticket office snaked well out of the door as those from the tour sought to buy tickets home from a destination they were not expecting to travel back from.
