It is 31 years to the day that the EPBs bowed out of service. The Group was lucky to save one unit of the class, 5759, preserve and restore it for future generations to ride on.

I had to visit the NHS Walk-In Centre in Fratton yesterday and in doing so I passed down Rodney Road, Anson Road, Invincible Way and Illustrious Drive. #Class50

@JGourd7 No 5759 is from a mid 1956 batch. the Tynesides were numbered from 5781 - 5795. They did not carry unit numbers - only vehicle numbers which had an 'E' prefix before they were transferred to the Southern.

#OnThisDay 45 years ago, my beloved CO/CP stock... or to the 4 year old me 'the red ones'... ran in normal service for the last time. With a makeshift chalk inscription and marker lights for High Street Ken, it awaits departure from Richmond. David Jones https://t.co/mTXZX8CQ0V

No trip to Hastings would be complete without meeting the legend who is Maggie.

Thanks to Station Manager Harry and the team for putting on a brilliant event for the public. We are expecting 2000 visitors over a four day period to see the Inspiration Train👇

Latest news from the @epbpg...
As part of ongoing improvement work, MLV 68001 and 5759 have had their Buckeye couplers overhauled and are now fitted with Lower Shelf Brackets.
This essential and vital upgrade of 68001 and 5759 completes this project for the operational fleet.
