Set 396

These formations have been noted:

24th May 1992

Seeing out its last days in the West Country and with Eastern Region 'E' prefixes on its car numbers, Class 108 two-car set number 396, formed of cars E53947 + E53633, were stabled between duties at Exeter St Davids on May 24th 1992. The leading car was originally a Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory car, but had been downgraded to an all second, but retaining the first class seating in the front saloon. The set was withdrawn from service just a few weeks after this image was recorded, in June 1992, and was subsequently scrapped by Gwent Demolition at Margam. Martyn Hilbert.

26th May 1992

The buildings on The Strand (A379) form a backdrop to a Class 108 DMU formed of cars 53633 & 53947, departing from Starcross with the 06.58 Paignton to Exmouth service on May 26th 1992. Above the rear car is the 'Atomospheric Railway Inn', a reminder that this stretch of railway was part of Brunels atmospheric system that was in operation between 1847-1849. Martyn Hilbert.

Do you have any images of the set you can add?
