British Rail class 73 electro-diesel loco Norwood Junction
In the summer of 1979 there was an acute shortage of serviceable stock on the Central Division of the Southern Region. To ease this a couple of London Bridge to Brighton services were operated with a class 73 and hauled stock. One such is seen here approaching Norwood Junction, almost certainly the 16.55 service. (There were balancing workings in the morning peak, obviously.)
