I was in the Havant area, so returned to Mill Lane, Bedhampton, which I had previously visited on some lunchtimes in years past. Four Class 313s in their expected final weeks, with the timetable change coming on 20th May; and the Chi Stone empties. The 313s were built at BREL York Works in 1976-77, originally for dual voltage service om the Great Northern suburban workings, including into Moorgate. They are currently the oldest electric multiple units operating on Network Rail lines.
