The EMU aisle. Wolverton Works. 1985.
Wolverton Works in the BR era was synonymous with the rolling programme of overhauls on the BR 25kv AC EMU fleet and a large proportion of the locomotive hauled coaching stock. This meant the works always had a varied collection of units and stock in generally from the London Midland and Eastern Regions but visitors from the Southern and Scottish could also be found on occasions. Sadly most of this part of the works is now vacant and up for demolition and redevelopment.
This view is inside the west repair shop one of the three main body shops at the works looking between the parted EMU vehicles. It depicts AC EMU classes 302, 305 and 312 in for attention. Quite what the bit of kit does on the trolley in the foreground I am not sure but someone will no doubt have the answer.
