Behind the concrete ramp on the left can be seen locos of classes 31, 37 and 47.

Edited to correct EMU class from 305 to 302.
Late 1982 - Tipped off that they were being stored in sidings in Colchester pending disposal. Like several enthusiasts took pictures kindly unchallenged but unfortunately there was an armed raid for copper etc. within a ouple of days of these pictures and a railman was hurt. Suspect many visited them. I had been travelling regularly on these from 1956 to 1967 between Romford and Seven Kings with occasional trips to Liverpool Street until their withdrawl.
Condemned 302260 a class 302 25kv emu E75308 with trailer E61119 stands within the confines of Wolverton Works.
These units introduced onto the the London, Tilbury and Southend routes in 1958 and lasted in service untill 1999, so this was an early casualty.

The interior to preserved British Rail Class 302 25kV AC Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) Driving Trailer Second Open (DTSO) outer suburban coach 75250 from 302 trainset 302227 at the heritage Mangapps Railway Museum near Burnham on Crouch in the County of Essex (UK).
75250 along with fellow Mangapps preserved Class 302 DTSO coach 75033 were built at British Railways Eastleigh Works in 1958 and withdrawn from traffic by the newly privatised London Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTS) along with the rest of the Class in 1999.
The ubiquitous blue seat trim shown here will date back to the British Rail Network SouthEast era of 1987-1994
Incredibly out of the 112 Class 302 trainsets and 448 coaches built, only Mangapps based coaches 75250 and 75033 were preserved after withdrawal from service. All the others were scrapped.

LTS class 302 unit 302228 runs through Bethnal Green on its way to Liverpool St on a diverted service from Shoeburyness on a dull 22nd February 1997.
I suspect the controller was playing today as it was unusual to see class 302's on a Saturday. However, this day, the service was run completely by 302's!
