This is a damn good video and thank you for sharing it. They had no right to get rid of these old units; there was plenty of life left in them. They run 1938 trains on the Isle of Wight for God's sake!

I used to love leaning out of the window of a 312 when I was younger from Thorpe-le-Soken to Walton-on-the-Naze, shame most of them have now been scrapped

I had many childhood memories with these units. They still had years of life left in them when widthdrawn (in fact, some of the 313's are older). I also think that these are in many ways more comfier than the 360s that replace them! (and more characteristic).

[bwarrrrk]

much better condition then the current 360s

prefer these to 360s any day

[AdnamsBrewery]

Superb stuff.

Great units that would have gone on and on.
