Nice Video!

Love a National but that style of Leopard always brings back memories of travelling to school, it was a treat when one of these came into sight as they gradually took over from the old rattly double decks.

thats low flying training exercise

I remember getting on one of these to Chichester from Victoria. Was an experience I will never forget. First time I kept shitting it that the train would crash at any moment in fact there was a shudder on the train and me and some woman looked at each other as if to say, we’re done for. Second time, had to deal with a bunch of goths making noise until they got off in Barnham and third time, had my feet trod on around three times where people came through the door that was next to the seats. Yet you know something? Looking back, I loved the buzz of it. I work on the railways now and the new stock has no character or romance anymore.

The last 'normal' passenger slam-door working was on Saturday 26 November 2005 when Southern deliberately ran a 12 VEP formation instead of the booked 377s as a farewell run from Brighton to Victoria and back. I travelled from Clapham Junction to East Croydon on it.

Can anyone identify the name of that module in SLP at 5:43

So, are you saying it is the ‘last official slam door train’ or ‘one of the last slam door trains’? In truth, the last ‘official’ slam door trains on South Central lines included a 12 car from Newhaven Marine to Stewarts Lane, followed by an 8 car from Lovers Walk to Stewarts Lane - after that, there were none in the area let alone units that were fit to run on mainline rails…

With head code that was the London Victoria train via Hove.

Promo sm

Back in the days when people could be trusted to make simple decisions for themselves.

The old slam door emu's in use on the Waterloo East-Hastings route when I was completing my WBLA course in Leatherhead

I used to love the sound of slamming doors as it meant to everyone that "we were leaving." I am old enough to remember when you had to drop the window with a strap and reach out through the window opening to open the door from the outside. Memories!

27/1/24 Update: We're back boys.

Almost 20 years...

Also a reminder that the TOCs spent large sums on respraying old trains in 'their' colours. And then those TOCs collapsed or were relieved of their franchises. This was presumably Connex livery. The original SR green should never have been dropped by British Rail and in modern form would still be right for the third-rail network today.

Excellent shot. Like me😁

Hmm, last 3rd rail mainline slam doors maybe but we were still running them on the Brockenhurst to Lymington branch until May 2010 including over part of the main line albeit with a central locking system once the doors were closed manually. Opened manually too of course once the locking system was released.

Remember these 😮 terrible 😣 good to get out of but that’s about it

Ok as an American who is too young to remember 2005... What were these like on the inside? Did each door lead to an individual compartment? Or otherwise? How did this work?

Headcode 03 was London Bridge via the Quarry Line

It wasn't i still remember using slam dpor hst's until 2019.

How does 2005 look so long ago, it feels like last week??

Is there still semaphore signaling there?

Lovely video but please no music.

What was the train class

what was the cause of this fire?

hi, great video,i remember the leyland leopards as a child living in sussex in the Eastbourne area, brillant vehicles, unlike the national bus with its 500 fixed head,

They are demolished

I am sad the windmil Caught fire

I don't know but it was an insana

Where did it start in the kitchen extraction system a common one in eateries sad for the folks that worked there hope they get employment elsewhere 👍

I remember we had a huge fire in Basingstoke called The Portsmouth Arms that too was virtually burnt to the Ground as it had a thatched roof and that was rebuilt so hopefully this will get rebuilt

Had to switch off the sound, terrible soundtrack, no need for it!!!

156+300=

By any chance did any engines come from Billingshurst?😊

Drop the music, it's not a Pathe newsreel.

This pub was called The Windmill as it stood near the site of a windmill. Demolished by Billy Butlin for an amusement park, was about where the wave swinger chairoplane is. I think they should build a new restaurant with a mock brick windmill incorporated. There are a few, such as in Milton Keynes and Lincoln. It wouldn't look much like the front of the theatre, and would look more like the original one.

Sad to see hope all the staff are ok and that it can be rebuilt

hate music spoils video for me doesn't fit scenes.

I'm betting a hood fire. Very common in restaurants.

FYI it spelled "hydrants"

Why the stupid music?

It was lovely in there and the food was always good. Please rebuild. Hope the staff are ok and get housed and sorted out. Truly awful to see.

Truly heartbreaking 💔

Very sad, went to see it today. Hopefully it will be rebuilt, thanks for the vid.

I live here, me and my friend was there, it was so scary and heartbreaking to watch 😢

Nice

I'm always impressed how easy the old british Diesels sound. By the way, when it comes to colours on a bus or a lorry the British are in class of their own.

The vintage buses bring a comical relief, the one eyed buses in particular, in a dull world of buses. The modern buses look boring, like shoe boxes or at best bread boxes.

BUS Reg 412 DCD, that "style" of bus was always called a "Kettle" Bus by my mother. It took me decades to know that some of the Drivers complained that the engine heat was unbearable in the summer, hence like been next to a kettle. Ours had sliding doors for Middlesbrough Corporation Transport, cannot find any PHOTOS of them in the ERIMUS Blue scheme. Pre TMY and obviously pre Cleveland Transport and pre Conservative (Thatcherism) Destruction of Public Transport. EVIL?
