I much preferred driving a slammer to a Disastro, just hate those bloody things. I fancied salvaging the Loudaphones from these units. I just imagined enthusiasts setting them up in their houses. Doris buzzes Bert up who's in the attic with his model railway layout and tells him, 'dinner's ready!' They were much more user friendly than the cab to cab on Disastros too. Those roof mounted horns didn't block up with snow either unlike the horns on 158s/159s (which I did love driving).
I saw a line of 4VEPs standing in the centre roads at Newport. The seats were piled up inside. It was dark. It was raining. It struck me this is it ... The End.
Thank god the electric got a visit from the torch they all should recieve the same visit as should the emus steam rules the rails that is the truth full stop end off.
@timothysmith8300 There, there, it won't be long now before the nice Men in white suits come along and give you a nice quiet room, with PLENTY of padding for you to play in.
Hi Mike, good to see you again. I remember there was other type which looks similar to these are preserved.
Grew up on SR. So sad to see those dead EMU slam doors :(

Luckily there is Class 87 that are still alive in Bulgaria.
87016 was cut up there between 2005 and 2010 according to Wikipedia.
5/15/18/21 and 24 were also scrapped there it seems
Many thanks for the info.
