Southend Pier [Shore]
One of the new Southend Pier Railway trains, delivered in 2021, at Shore station but unfortunately 'Not in Service', on the afternoon of Bank Holiday Monday, 29th August 2022. Southend is not a million miles from London but, having gone there specifically to ride one of the new trains, it was a big disappointment to have to make the journey in the surviving 1986 train, 'Sir William Heygate' instead. The new trains, however, are more akin to the old 1949 electric trains in their green and cream livery and which ran on the line until it closed in 1978 (reopened in 1986) and which I rode on many times during happy family day trips to Southend from the late 1950s onwards.
