1001 departs St. Leonards Depot for a day in service
This article created on 30 November 2004
At 10:10 on Tuesday 23 November 2004, the three-car
formation of our DEMU accelerates onto the main line outside
St. Leonards depot. It was about to enter service at Hastings with
the 10:24 to Ashford International.
Having two motor coaches in a 3-car unit provides a very favourable
power-to-weight ratio, that can see line speed reached in under a minute.
