OK, here's a question to see if anyone can identify a train I remember seeing when I was about four or five years old...so my memories of it are somewhat vague.
I think it was dumped in a siding in the Twickenham area, as I remember seeing it from the window of passing trains, and it would have been roughly around the time 508s were beginning to appear on the SWD, but I remember seeing a number of SUB and/or EPB vehicles, in blue livery, some of which appeared to have been fire damaged. They were there for a while, I think, as I saw them several times, before presumably being taken away for scrap somewhere.
Any ideas? Do we know what the vehicles were, how they were damaged, and what eventually happened to them? I'll be impressed if you can help.
