1989 - EPBs at Blackfriars..
BR/S 4EPB units at the old Blackfriars station, in September 1989, with unit 5277 facing the camera. The through lines from Holborn Viaduct are on the left, and the River Thames bridge starts just in front of the overall roof.
The last 4EPBs were withdrawn in 1995, and one unit has been preserved. Today (2021) all this has gone, and there is a new station on the bridge itself, completed in 2012.
