A full house of class 313s in the three road cattle shed at Kings Cross on the afternoon of 11 September 2010. Class 313s work FCC inner suburban services into and out of Kings Cross at weekends but it is unusual to see three pairs together in platforms 9-11. On this occasion all "inners" were pairs because Arsenal were playing at home, plus a few cancellations resulted in some sets laying over at Kings Cross between duties.

As Units go Class 313's are never going to win any prizes for looks. But they have been around for nearly 40 years being introduced in 1976 on the Great Northern and lines into Moorgate via Finsbury Park. It would appear their time is nearly up with talk of replacements in the offing.
Doing exactly what they were built for 313031 and 026 approach Harringay with a train from Kings Cross to Welwyn Garden City on 2nd May 2011
On board the 16.30 from Bishop Auckland to Stanhope. There was a lady with two children further up the carriage and five adults in the other carriage of the unit. It was disappointing that more people were not travelling on this community rail service - Use it or lose it!
Which was exactly what happened as this train service has since ceased to run.
