British Class 421/4 EMU 4-CIG car unit.
Unit 421866 at Eastbourne, Sussex in platform 2 on a damp Sunday morning June 6th 1999.
This unit is in Connex South-East livery and the driving second trailer is closest to the camera. This unit dates from the early 1970s and originally had 3 1st class compartments next to the drivers cabs in both driving coaches. Connex had downgraded the 1st class in one coach per unit without changing the 3 aside seating.
The sets are powered by a 740 kW, 992 hp non-driving motor brake second and have a 90 mph, 145 kmph top speed.
