Being only 15, I can just about remember the old slam door trains in the South East but I was wondering if anyone could help with what I can (sort of) recall.
1) At Tunbridge Wells, I seem to remember Southern Services going from there. Where did they go, when and why did they stop running? (I think they stopped before the 4tph SE service to Tunbridge Wells)
2) I also remember that the sidings to the east of Tonbridge which now are home to a family of MPVs and a couple of other things used to have Colas Rail locos or OTM stored there. How long was that for and what was there before that?
3) What sort of stock operated the Hastings and Redhill lines around 2003? What sort of rolling stock and which companies (Had the Southern/Connex South Central operations reached that far yet?
4)Lastly, what was/is Tonbridge West Yard used for?
Any information would be really great.
Thanks
Joe
