Videos featuring 207001
This video features footage of Southern Region Class 205 and 207 diesel multiple units, commonly known as 'Thumpers', which were used on non-electrified routes in southern England during the late 1950s to early 2000s. These locomotives operated on lines such as Uckfield, Oxted, Brighton, Reading, and Tonbridge, noted for their distinctive deep rhythmic noise. Many of these units are now preserved on heritage railways, where they continue to be operated and enjoyed by enthusiasts.
