A fantastic day celebrating 40 years of Network SouthEast! 🚆 Last week, our NSE 40th Tour took passengers from London Victoria across our network aboard an iconic NSE livery train. Brilliant day bringing everyone together to share the NSE legacy. #NetworkSouthEast #NSE40

The 507 group claim that they're the only preservation group operating an EMU under its own (battery) power...False; @epbpg have been operating battery powered EMUs for a quarter of a century having worked battery powered passenger trains on the EKR, Mid Hants and Bluebell. #507

Following the exciting news of our MLVs 68001/002 and EPB 5759 going to the Bluebell Railway in September, this will also be a first for the @EPBPG since shoegear fitted EMUs were last at Horsted Keynes back in 1963; here is such proof on SEG 4COR motor coach S11201S in 2015...

#OnThisDay 45 years ago, my beloved CO/CP stock... or to the 4 year old me 'the red ones'... ran in normal service for the last time. With a makeshift chalk inscription and marker lights for High Street Ken, it awaits departure from Richmond. David Jones buff.ly/xwkIFpj
The cab end of a red CO/CP Stock train standing at Richmond at dusk. The destination blind reads 'High Street' and below it 'Last red train on the District line' is written. Someone has written 'The Last red train on the District line' in chalk on the central M door.

It is 31 years to the day that the EPBs bowed out of service. The Group was lucky to save one unit of the class, 5759, preserve and restore it for future generations to ride on. Find out how YOU can support or join us by visiting epbpg.co.uk today. ©Photo C Reavell
