- Southern Region Mark 1 Slam door EMUs are seen at Clapham Junction and London Waterloo. CIG VEP CEP and BEP units are included. Note the immaculate condition of the South West Trains CEP units with only a few weeks left in service. The South Western division always kept their trains cleaner than the Central or Eastern!
Scenes long gone in a contemporary world. Excellent work.
I'm a SWT guard working out of Basingstoke. My first day out as a guard just over 11 years ago, took a stopper along the coast PH to Soton. Pulling away from Netley we got about 200 yards and came to a stand. Buzzed the driver who said, Cam Controllers gone mate, we'll have to have a push! My first day out! What was the unit? Goto 2.58 and there it is, 1306 a much missed greyhound! Never thought I'd see it again. Many thanks!
Excellent vid mate, myself im a guard out of waterloo but was too late for the slammers and 442s, many missed memories, thanks for the vid.
yes lovely pictures and lovely old liveries...ahhh.
More Lovely memories..Well done. 👍🏽
Oh dear, that was bad luck. I only had one camshaft pack up on me. They were generally very reliable. Thanks for the story.
I have been on slam door trains many times especially when I went to Hastings for the day in February 1999.
Excellent Video for this
its good that you used a tripod unlike a lot of people on youtube. great footage.
beautifully observed - a wonderful video
Magic - perhaps more atmospheric than even you intended!! We did look after our CEPs well; by God they didn't half fly if you gave them a bit of rein. Wouldn't stop for love nor money, mind you....
The sad thing about the slammers is that one of the reasons they ran late was due to someone like the "narna" at 4mins 47 on this vid! Unfortunately these days the delays are usually down to a computer rather than a commuter
No they all had to be withdrawn by September 2005 as it was made illegal for train operators to use this sort of stock for safety reasons. Virtually all of them have been scrapped, but two still run on the Lymington branch in Hampshire
The Guildford via Cobham train does not stop at Earlsfield on this occasion.
Using a tripod is the first and most important rule. Let the train do the moving not the camera.
I didn't see the 14:09 Guildford via Cobbham train leave from platform 3 but I did see a train leave from platform 13.
Loud announcement at 3:33.
wow slam doors they still use em or are they scrapped
I have a question, did the MLV's have a driving cab as here they're at the head of the Gatwick Express?
Yes there was a driving cab, there'd have to be. They were not MLVs though, they were the driving motor coaches from redundant 2HAP units. Two car 90mph units.
@@traindriver35 I would have thought they'd fall apart at anything over 50mph.
