Where are you on the transport network?

[davesgcr]

Oh really? Tell me more!

When the early AC electricification in South London was "abandoned" for 3d rail , 21 of the motor vehicles were recycled into very smart bogie brakevans for the fast freight trains from Southampton Docks. (and more were built from new) - they had a very long life , well into the 1990's - used one (s56302) as escort vehicles on car traffic from Garston etc (and in the West Midlands)

Yes, really nice railway - pay it a visit. Both ends easily accessible by public transport from Londinum

we did travel the line late in its BR days - went to visit the heathfield relatives via uckfield

Thanks - living next to the south london line this is of some interest to me ... there's not a whole lot of info online about these. Am I right in thinking it was the things in the 3rd (bottom) picture here that were converted?

Yes indeed, possibly the most luxurious local trains ever run in local services in South London

The terminus site of the Sizewell C branch line, currently a forest but construction begins next year. It will take up to five trains a day bringing construction materials to the site:

Have we had a chain ferry yet?

 

[Elpenor]

Used to drive there and watch the ferry when I lived briefly in Bournemouth during the early 2021 lockdown. Nothing else to do!

No, can't use on long distance trains. Still, paid about £45 quid each (and £3 for the kid) to travel from Munich to Italy through Austria. It's quite nice....
