SOUTH WEST TRAINS SEASIDE SLAMMER SPECIALS
JUNE 18th

catch the whilst you can

Mind those open slam doors - a  sight soon to become rare (though Mk2 and Mk3 coaches, and certain other stock, will be running for many years to come with slam doors).

1497 basking

3417 gets a second Saturday running to bask in the sun at Weymouth whilst 1497 catches the rays.

almost a matched pair

If it were not for the aluminium arrow on 1497 (and certain other clues) this could almost be in the early 1970s - though definitely not at Weymouth!

refurbished Vep brake compartment

The one aspect of 3417's retro look which is difficult to revert to its original condition - the passenger saloon built into the former guard's cage area during mid-life refurbishment of the Vep fleet. This usefully increased the amount of passenger accommodation - such a large luggage/parcels, etc, area not being needed on a outer suburban unit.
