Slight Snag at Rochester

1985


The southward view from the opposite side of the running lines shows the snaking entrance to Rochester to good effect. 4-CAP No. 3304 was made up of 2-HAP unit Nos. 6084 and 6085, and at this time, eleven 4-CAP units were in existence. Five more of the class emerged in 1991. © Chris


The 4-CAP units which originally emerged in 1982 were based on the Central Division, and the conversion task involved downgrading the existing First Class accommodation of the constituent 2-HAP units to Second Class. When these units were re-allocated to the South Eastern Division, First Class was reinstated, as seen here on the derailed leading vehicle of No. 3304. © Chris


Returning to the ''down'' island platform, a Class 33 is seen passing by with the Sittingbourne to Burngullow (Cornwall) empty china clay slurry tanks. © Chris
