306026, stored, March South Junction Stored in a siding across the running lines from March South Junction signal box 306026 looks rather forlorn as it awaits its final move and fate. Unlike earlier in the day at Whittlesea Graham and I was unable to explore further but somehow we did manage to get the numbers of the doomed units. The Class 306s were a pre-war LNER enduring design that were converted from their as-built 1,500 DC form to 25KV (and 6.25KV for inner London operations) between 1959 and 1961. Of the ninety-one sets one unit, 306017, was saved from the scrap man and is now part of the national collection after being painted into its as-built green livery and was used for charter operation for a short while. Notice the destination blind in the unit seen here reading Gidea Park, was this its final service before being taken out of service after some thirty years of faithful operation for the commuters between Liverpool Street and Shenfield? However, the two-character headcode of 48 would suggest a more mundane ECS move to Stratford Depot. Keywords: 306026 stored Whitemoor Yard
