Class 501 at Harrow and Wealdstone station (date unknown).

This is unit 156 which was the last set to carry green livery on the DC line and (if my memory is correct) also the last unit to carry all-blue livery. The window bars were necessary to avoid the possibility of passengers being beheaded in Hampstead Heath tunnel on the North London Line, the sideways clearance at that location prevented other types of passenger stock from passing through the tunnel without the opposite track being blocked to other traffic.


Q stock (Q23?) train at Kensington (Olympia) in 1970. Looking south towards C****** H****. ;-)
