Blind Vision

Having spent a day running to both Uckfield and East Grinstead, Southern's Electro-Diesel 73 202 'Graham Stenning' heads northbound between Riddlesdown and Sanderstead on it's way back to Stewarts Lane Depot. I'm guessing this was a route learning trip for train crew.

 

I'm guessing that this locomotive, plus other members of class 73s operated by GBRf that haven't been rebuilt, are the only type of traction left on the railway network that have two red roller blinds as a form of tail light indication. That said, preserved 'Hastings Diesel' unit 1001 also uses two red blinds, but as far as I'm aware everything else has red marker lights or flashing tail lamps.
