Southern Region Doubledeck EMU # 4001 of class 4DD enters Charing Cross Station in June 1972. These 2 units were withdrawn in 1971 prior to the TOPS unit numbering and were classed under the Southern Railway code 4DD. The train of 4001 & 4002 formed the 4:27 p.m. Charing Cross to Dartford which I rode as far as London Bridge Station where I caught the 5:05 p.m. Eastbourne Fast. <BR>The upper compartment was slightly cramped and the windows had no opening portion. That day was sunny and hot and so was the compartment.<P>One of the Driving Motor Brake seconds has been preserved and the website is at <A HREF="http://members.tripod.com/~dart75/bdds.htm">http://members.tripod.com/~dart75/bdds.htm</A><P>
This is another of my favourite photos. I was lucky to see and ride these unique units and they had been withdrawn by my next UK vacation.<P>
