London Bridge Station Exhibition

The skyscraper on the far left is that of Guy's Hospital, whilst that immediately behind the

1866-built trainshed roof are the offices which formed part of the scheme to fund the station

rebuild during the 1970s. Plenty of interest here, with a Civil Mechanical & Electrical Engineering

Department's yellow formation on the right, a gentleman noting down the number; a then

new ''Wessex Electric'' Class 442 (No. 2415) taking centre stage in the attractive Network

SouthEast livery which suited it so well; and British Rail blue and grey-liveried Bulleid-designed

EPB units on the far left. Mike Glasspool

of Network SouthEast stock and a number of platform stalls. Mike Glasspool
