At the back of the NRM former BR Class 414 4HAP car 61275 from set number 4308 that still wears its faded Network SouthEast livery. This unit spent most of its working life on the Kent Coast following construction at Eastleigh in 1959. In the foreground is the much newer, dating from 1973, 4VEP a single Class 423 carriage number 76875 from unit 3545 that wears the equally faded livery of one of the worst ever operators to grace our network, Connex South Eastern. This unit was withdrawn, along with all the other remaining slam-door stock, in October 2005. Interestingly, this unit has returned whence it came from being built here at York by BREL just a stone's throw from its location within the NRM complex.
