This is the modern world that I've learnt about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong
I've been reading Bruce Peter's "The changing face of British Rail", a fascinating read about the history of BR. I wasn't a fan of the Network South East livery when it emerged. Designed by John Robertshaw, it was based on the Union Jack colours. Perhaps he was a mod? Maybe he was a Jam fan? The book didn't provide that insight.
Time has softened my opinion and now it reminds me of another time. Shame that privatisation stopped NSE developing further into the brand and organisation it had the potential to become. It lingers on though. The ticket office at Marylebone still wears its NSE colours 30 years later!
73128 and 73213 depart London Bridge after reversal in platform 15 with the snow and ice treatment train (SITT), 3Y90, 11.48 Tonbridge West Yard to Purley Down Sidings.
