🔴🔵⚪ 40 years ago today, Network SouthEast was born — and for millions of passengers across the South East region, the railway would never look the same again. 🚂 We're marking the anniversary with a look back at those iconic days. Tell us your memories of travelling on NSE

A fantastic morning bringing these two Southdown stablemates back together for the first time since 1994! 🚌✨ ​Both 1978 Bristol VRs feature convertible ECW bodies. Just an hour’s work turns them into open-toppers—perfect for the Bank Holiday sunshine! ☀️ #bristolvr #ecw
