Farewell to Connex on South Eastern Trains and to slam-door stock...
Cab/Standard-class Trailer of a Class 411 of (ex-Connex) South Eastern Trains, seen at London-Charing Cross, awaiting departure to Hastings.
As on most 411s of SET, BR-Network South East livery has remained, but gone are the old logos...
These units used to run on Boat Trains between London-Victoria and Folkestone-Harbour/Dover Western Docks until 1994-95. They were then diagrammed on Kent Coast services, and are now under withdrawal.
They have also been running on the "1066 Electrics" London-Hastings since the electrification of Tonbridge-Hastings in 1986.
