With the final withdrawal of Island Lines 80-year-old Class 483 trains a little over a month away, the London Transport Traction Group have announced that they've successfully secured one of these trains for preservation on the mainland, at the Epping Ongar Railway in Essex.

South Western Railway has confirmed to the group that they will have a unit for preservation, but its not been confirmed which unit - although it is likely to be 483006 or 483008. This is pending a final decision from the Science Museum's Railway Heritage Designation Advisory Board who are managing the disposal of some of the trains.
