VINTAGE TRACTION
(not illustrated)
The oldest celebrant this year is LU District Line ‘D’ stock which would be 110, but no vehicles survive. This is also true of prototype AC EMU Class AM1 (70 years old) and Southern DC electric classes 6-CIT and 6-PUL (both 90), 4-LAV (60) and temporary formations Class
413 4-CAP (40) and Class 422
8-DIG (30). However, it is hoped that a painstakingly restored Class
403 (originally 5-BEL) Brighton
Belle Pullman set will take to the rails in its 90th anniversary year. A four-car Metro-Cammell/BR Derby LU 1962 stock train, preserved by Cravens Heritage Trains, celebrates
60 years this year.
