British Rail Network SouthEast-London Waterloo, Waterloo East & Woking Class 47's & EPB EMU's

On this upload we are back to a Saturday in February 1993. We see Network SouthEast class 47 loco hauled action at Waterloo and Woking, along with some EPB's at Waterloo East. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Woking, know that well. Lovely 30's style box there

Same as Dorking. Which I had the pleasure of going in a few times as a kid in the late 70s 😊😊😊

Thanks for posting this wonderful video Soi. All those EPBs at Waterloo East !! Just fantastic stuff

47583. Look at that pollution. I first saw that at Colchester. We had gone to Butlin's Clacton for a holiday and I caught the train back to Colchester for one day of Anoraking. Odd seeing the 47/7's at Waterloo as I had to go up to jock-land to see them. I used to go out of Waterloo East to get to Hither Green, an easy depot to bunk! A good video me old son!

47 583 was an ex Stratford one, so would have worked through Colchester many times.....

London Waterloo is still the best terminus station with South Western Railway mostly operating long distance commuter and suburban services. And was once home to Eurostar before it was moved to St. Pancras in 2007.

Looking for 47s I have on my layout, and only saw one, 47712! Mind you, in 1989 in Scotland, I had 47717 for haulage from Linlithgow to Haymarket, and 47707 for shoveage, from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street!

Blacked out driver ends?... a couple of 2 car units that fell in love and couldn't bare to be split up.. ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Basically.... yes! Two 2 car units permanently coupled together.... The EPBs were being withdrawn around this time and it was a way of making up 4 car units to fit the Unit Diagrams....

[@djtrainspotter]

Aka 4-CAP units. Been around for years like that.

[@jasongreenberg931]

4-CAP’s formed in 1982 by combining two 2-HAP’s together

[@toddhunter3137]

@@jasongreenberg931 the 4cep trains were good, I remember them from the bembom days out in Margate. Living in Manchester now. The pacers are thankfully gone now!

[@toddhunter3137]

@@jasongreenberg931 the Kent link networker.. class 465 and 466 the two car added on to make the 10 car.. it was an upgrade but you still couldn't walk through the entire train.

I never knew that Provincial liveried Mk2s made it into the West of England rakes.

The NSE rolling stock was failing in massive numbers, a few RR coaches were drafted in......

[@vernongoodey5096]

Network South East coaches as far as Exeter and Kings Lynn? Confusing or what! Network days for £1

[@iainmaturin8460]

😅i assume the 47's were on Waterloo to Exeter workings. Back in the day Warships were rostered and then 33',s., until 50's were deployed

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, the Salisbury and Exeter workings.....

[@thegwyd393]

Any idea why all the trains at Waterloo East were running headcode _1? Was there diversions or closures or something?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

No idea, Southern headcodes not being a strong point of mine.....

[@djtrainspotter]

Probably Charing X - Cannon St. shuttles, due to Market Borough - Metropolitan Jnc's being closed for engineering works. Mainline services would run London Br. - Cannon St. stations.
