Regular readers will be aware that from time to time, I publish images taken by other people .
Always with their permission and always where I think that the image(s) deserved a wider audience than it/they might otherwise get.
I do not normally post single image blogs so this is a bit of a bonus.
However my son Andrew recently took this image on Worthing station.
My first reaction was ‘what a beautiful picture’. I still think so.
What do you think?
313201 ‘Southern’. BREL York built EMU
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
Painted in an approximation of the ‘British Rail’ blue/grey livery, It was working service 1S18 from Brighton to Chichester.
It should then have gone on to Portsmouth Harbour but was unable to do so because the line was blocked
The ‘Southern’ franchise being part of ‘Govia Thameslink Railway’.
The 313’s were built from 1976 onward and were the first of the second generation of EMU’s built for what then was ‘British Rail’.
64x3 car units were built and almost half of those have been scrapped. This particular unit now being 42 years old!.
