Thursday 15th December 2005 - the 5Z00 Lovers Walk
to Stewarts Lane via Victoria working was the last run outside of a depot or works of 1963
series stock under its own power save for the Lymington
branch operation. Units 3486 and 3530 were moved to Stewarts Lane for removal
of their shoe gear and height limiting beams. They are pictured (left) just north of
Gatwick Airport Station in the failing afternoon light. photograph by Colin Watts |
