A very wet day as 73131 heads a parcels train through Purley Oaks station. This is probably the stock that forms the 0330 London Bridge to Eastbourne service which had limited passenger accomadation, i.e. the Mk1 BSK second coach in. Unusually the rest of the train is formed of former SR bogie vans, not a single Mk1 GUV to be seen.
Slide dated 20/4/83.
