there is one EPB (5759) left in passenger service repainted into Southern Green and can be found on the East Kent Railway at Shepherdswell. there's also a 4CEP/BEP in SWT livery and 4 MLV's one of which (68001) runs with batteries, worth a visit.
Great video. Thanks for posting. I've got a lot of fond memories of that station, being taken there as a kid to "trainspot" by my grandad, getting off there numerous times to watch Millwall, and finally working there when many times when I was on BR prior to privatisation. Love all the southern units of that era. Great stuff thanks again :-)
I used to travel on this South Eastern route many times including my day trip to Margate, the most recent in April 2008. I do have happy memories boarding regularly on slam door trains in my late teens and early twenties.
When was this shot?

01:37 new cross depot, not many trances of it left now, just the imposing metal fence around the outside and the staff platform nowadays...

Such a shame the EPBs had to go. Loved them as a kid, living in Slade Green saw them all the time.

It's good you caught this on film as the EPBs were soon to disappear.

A brilliant video I would have been 2 or 3 when this was filmed in 1993!
