1966 - 'Nelson at the Junction..
SR 'Portsmouth Unit' 4-BUF 3083 passing Clapham Junction station, with a 4-COR in the rear, in summer 1966.
The units were withdrawn from passenger service in 1972, and several cars were preserved, including some to form a complete unit.
One 4-COR driving motor ended up in the front garden of a house near Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire, in the mid-1970s. That carriage was recently - until 2012 - resident at the London Transport Museum Depot at Acton, but then moved to the East Kent Railway, joining another 3 cars there, forming Unit 3142.
