Description
A BR vid from the Southern now. Eastleigh was always a good spot for freight trains. Back in 1989 there were DEMUs on the Botley line, Southern Slammers, Wessex Electrics and Inter-City expresses hauled by 47s. Look out for the 4 EPB unit running ECS, off to Eastleigh Works, probably for withdrawl rather than repair. It has a red line above the windows which denoted compartment stock rather than open plan and these units were first to be withdrawn when the end came.
