4633 4-SUB in the scrapline at Hither Green sidings
My bashing friends and I spent some time clearing all the passenger routes on the Southern Region when we were at Kingston Polytechnic back in 1982-1985. During this period, we had many a ride on the old 4-SUB units which were finally withdrawn from service in 1983. We noticed a collection of the units withdrawn in the old Hither Green Continental Sidings, and managed to gain entrance for a good look around one day in 1983., , Unit history, It was built at Eastleigh entering service 7/49 formed 11326+8913+12373+11325 all of which were built on the underframes of pre war wooden bodied SUB units. TS 8913 was exchanged for TSO 12384 from wdn 4644 6/76 as part of the plan to get rid of compartment stock in these units, wdn 10/82 & electrically stripped at Selhurst then had it's bogies swapped for scrap one at Slade Green 2-3/83 & it was stored at Plumstead by 5/83 until moved to HG 9/83 staying here until sent to Vic Berry for scrapping 9/85., Info courtesy of blindpugh09 , , More information on the old 4-SUB units here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR_Class_4Sub, , Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL SLR camera.
