Vehicle: 975540 Set: 02
Western Region Route Learning Saloon set L102 TDB975540 in Tonbridge West Yard being made ready for an empty stock move to London Blackfriars on 12th February 1990. The unit was in use for a number of weeks while Bedford drivers were taught the routes to Orpington and Sevenoaks for the new Thameslink service. It was stabled overnight at Tonbridge for the simple reason Tonbridge traincrews were the only South Eastern Division depot trained on DMU's so did all the route learning trips for the Midland men. 47 603 on no.1 road had arrived with ECS vans 5Y50 09.59 ex Redhill. Adrian Nicholls.
20th May 1988
Vehicle: 51498 Set: L835
Class 101 Metro-Cammell diesel units had not, I think, been allocated to Reading until a batch was acquired to replaced Gloucester RC&W class 119 sets which had in turn replaced Southern DEMUs (the Tadpole units) at the beginning of the 1980s (although ex-Hastings DEMUs would also work on the Tonbridge - Redhill service). Here L835 (presumably 51498 + 59530 + 51432) is seen at Tonbridge on May 20, 1988. Jeremy Chapter.

26th July 1992
Vehicle: 51572 Set: L490
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. John Atkinson.
