4-SUB class 405 suburban units numbers 4689 and 4289 (built at BR Eastleigh Works in 1949) meet at Clapham Junction in the rain on 23rd March 1981.
The culling of the class 405 fleet was undertaken over an eleven year period; the final units to go were those on the Central Division in September 1983, the last of the type operating in revenue-earning service on 6th of that month. ©Gordon Edgar/Railphotoprints.co.uk
