British Rail 4SUB electric unit 4749 Hollingbourne
On 14 August 1982 the Southern Electric Group ran their "Mary-Go-Round" 4SUB railtour from London to Ashford (Kent) for a Chart Leacon Depot Open Day. Owing to the age pf the stock and the higher current used for the Kent 1950/60s electrification, the train ran with heating fuses removed throughout and at Maidstone East the lighting fuses were also removed (being replaced later in the day). Here is the train, 4SUB 4749, heatless and lightless at Hollingbourne, east of Maidstone where a photo sop was made.
