Further to some recent photos of the remodelling of the London end of Tonbridge on other groups, here is an earlier view of the preparatory work on the curve around towards Hildenborough taken on Sunday 26-7-92. The train is noteworthy too being DMU Set L490 which consisted of a pair of Class 108 cars (DMC 51572 and DMBS 53599) strengthened to 3-cars by the addiction of an unknown centre car. Class 108 stock was pretty unusual at Tonbridge. The photo was taken at about 17.10hrs and the unit had just shunted out of the Up Redhill Branch Siding and was now heading for Hither Green for refuelling as the normal access to Chart Leacon (Ashford) was blocked by an engineering possession. CEP and EPB units are berthed in the Down Main Sidings and an EDL visible in the West Yard.
