Waterloo, Friday morning, 18th February 2005.
Class 412 4-BEP unit no. 2315, the other one of the last two in service with South West Trains at that time, waits at the rear of a 12-car slamdoor formation about to depart empty from Platform 13.
In Platform 12, Class 421 4-CIG unit no. 1302 has recently arrived at the head of a 12-slam on the 07.24 service from Basingstoke, and will soon depart at the rear of the 08.39 service to Southampton Central.
The diagram starting with the 07.24 ex-Basingstoke service ran as a 10-car Class 444 formation from the following Monday, 21st February 2005, but reverted to a 12-slam after the Easter break. Photo by Mark Ziemba, scan by Fuji. #zedbedman@netscape.net
