South eastern class 508s at Purley Oaks with horn action!

Filmed on 3 November. Since the 6 class 508s used by southeastern are being withdrawn in December I needed to say my goodbye's by filming these units which have superb motors. Here we have 508207 working the 2B48 15:24 Tunbridge Wells to London Bridge service and 508205 working the 2B47 16:03 London Bridge to Tonbridge service with some good horn action from the driver. Thanks driver!

Enjoy!

[HSTHoward]

[jfs0996]

Thanks. All that's left is 508203 & 598208 and that's me done with filming the 508s. Any news about that tour. I don't think any paths have been booked yet. Not sure.

[HSTHoward]

i seen all them no news yet but hope fully i will run

[jfs0996]

It's very easy where you are. 2 are at Tonbridge yard in the afternoon and 2 through my way. Hopefully it does. Is it meant to be a 6 car formation. 508203 and 508208 I haven't seen for a while.
