483009 & 483002, stored, Ryde St. John`s Road yard An elevated view of Ryde St. John's Road yard showing two Class 483 sets that have been stripped and scavenged for spares to keep the others in operation. At the back is 483002 that has been out of service since 2008. It awaits its fate that will be scrapping within the next six months or so. In the foreground, having been the subject of a graffiti attack, is 483009 that was taken out of service last year. It's incredible to think that 483009 entered service just three months before the start of the London Blitz and that it has been in virtual continual operation since!
