508 Maintenance Moves between Gillingham and Stewarts Lane

508203, 508205 and 508210 pass Bickley with the 16+18 Gillingham - Stewarts Lane on 29th April 2009 Six perfectly good serviceable units remain on lease for several years yet, therefore they are being paid for and need to be maintained in running condition, yet they are not available for service.

Here, on one of the regular movements of class 508s between Gillingham Depot, for maintenance, and Stewarts Lane, for "warm" storage, 508203, 508205 and 508210 pass Bickley with the 16+18 Gillingham - Stewarts Lane on 29th April 2009.
