With 508207 departing for overhaul at Wabtec Doncaster on February 8th 2008 the livery of the former Connex company disappeared from the former Southern Region. No tears were shed by passengers, nor many by staff, by the demise of the Connex South Eastern operation and the disapperance of the none too distinguished livery finally drew the line under an unsatisfactory period. Here 508207 is approaching Edenbridge on 2nd February with the 10:03 London Bridge to Tunbridge Wells service. photograph by Colin Price |
