Excellent! And reminds a bit of the Metro Ligero (light) services in Madrid which used to take me to many of my classes.

Nice composition with the curve of the spandrels. The oldest EMUs on NR althgough I understand Southern will soon withdraw all their 313s

That's right Pete. Some have already gone to the scrapyard. The blue one, 313201, the oldest and by all accounts least reliable, was given a final once-over, so it could take part in the Branch Line Society's special, run last Saturday, which is recorded in a few photos uploaded recently. It, with others, is due to head for the breakers this week I believe. I think we will be switched over to 377s by the end of May.
I have only known the 313s since we moved down here. They got here a few years after us. I have put most of my photos of them into an album on RMweb. www.rmweb.co.uk/gallery/album/4767-farewell-313s
