T88-V01-Southern - ExSilverlink 313101+313109 departing Lewes Siding

years of neglect have taken their toll. i remember when they were new, i got to go in one, from moorgate to finsbury park. remember how smooth they were compared to the slam door stock i was used too. went on one recently from kensington to willesden, it was rough, think it had a wheel flat.

surely these trains are wasted on this route? being dual voltage it would have made sence to use them where this could be utilised. good vid tho, 5*

@pinza55007 Wasted? They should be scrapped by now. They've been thrust upon Southern as their franchise bid required more trains, but no new builds were allowed.

[pinza55007]

lol. not sure they are ready for scrap yet, admit they are a little rough round the edges. they just need some tlc.

Rough round the edges, and through the middle, and actually anywhere you care to look. And I mean inside the equipment cases too. Since that's what I'm doing all day tomorrow...
