Summary

[edit]
Description 171803, a Southern Class 171 Turbostar, is seen here at London Bridge, completing 1E28, the 11:34 Southern service from Uckfield to London Bridge. Southern uses these DMUs on its services which use routes that are not fully electrified - The route to Uckfield is not electrified south of Hurst Green. The London Bridge to Uckfield route is one of only two routes operated by Southern which uses diesel trains, the other being the route from Brighton to Ashford International. These units were built by Bombardier Transportation in Derby in two batches - one batch, which consists of 4 coach units, is used on services from London Bridge to Uckfield, while the other batch, which consists of 2 coach units, is used on services from Brighton to Ashford International - to replace Southern's aging Mark 1 slam-door DMUs which were more than 40 years old at the time. Services to Uckfield ran from London Victoria until 2003, when they began to run from London Bridge instead. These services are the only diesel services operating from London Bridge.
