4657 & 4291 4-SUBs 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 During this period, we had many a ride on the old 4-SUB units which were finally withdrawn from service in 1983. We noticed a collection of the units withdrawn in the old Hither Green Continental Sidings, and managed to gain entrance for a good look around one day in 1983., , Unit histories, 4291 was new from Eastleigh 5/49 formed 10878+10158+10135+10877 on new Lancing frames., TS 10158 was exchanged with TSO 9004 from wdn 4724 6/76., Wdn 8/83 & stripped at Selhurst then stored at Reigate & onto HG 9/83 until sent to Vic Berry 8/85., , 4657 was new from Eastleigh 1/50 formed 11374+8937+12397+11373 with the 1st & 4th on recovered pre war SUB frames & the 2nd & 3rd on new Lancing frames.
