DMU

Reading allocated class 119 set L594 (51073 and presumably 59435 + 51104) waits to leave Ashford with the 04.10 staff train to Tonbridge on August 15, 1988. For several years one of the late evening trains off the Redhill to Tonbridge line used to run through to Ashford Chart Leacon ECS for fuel and cleaning. It would then make this unusual working in the morning the 04.10 Ashford to Tonbridge staff train which called at all station except Pluckley and Marden. It was unusual in being a WR DMU set on what was an electrified normally EMU only passenger route. Primarily for railway staff going to work it would connect at Tonbridge into the 04.58 to London Charing Cross passenger service. Some 'normal passengers' made use of it but it could be withdrawn at short notice for overnight engineering work and replaced with a mini-bus. At Tonbridge the DMU would then start off the first or second train of the day up the Redhill line which was not yet electrified. Adrian Nicholls.
