Description
The Final Years of the Southern Slam Door Class 415 4-EBP, Class 411 4-CEP, Class 421 4-CIG and Class 424 4-VEP EMUs. During the 1990s and into the early 2000s I tried to record as many of the 1st generation, slam door, third rail electric multiple units as i could as I knew their days were numbered. This slideshow made up from scanned slides from my archive that I took during this period.
