When the 'Hastings' unit first entered service it ran with coaches all of the
same narrow profile...necessary because a tunnel on the route had insufficient
clearence. When the line was singled the sets could be strengthened with 'normal'
profile coaches and this is what you see here. Pictured at Stratford on 
the 25th September 2004.
