4 EPB No. 5261 is seen departing Waterloo East for Charing Cross, a year after partial modernisation and restoration of the station's lattice footbridge had occurred. The corrugated metal canopy valances were wearing a dreary grey scheme at this time, but the brickwork of the platform offices was spruce and clean. Worthy of note are the pair of Bulleid-designed trailers of the EPB unit, sandwiched between a pair of BR-designed driving vehicles. © Treflyn Lloyd-Roberts
4 EPB No. 5604 is seen departing for London Bridge, wearing BR Blue and Grey livery, but with NSE ''Flashes''. In the background, on the left, is the platform area which later became host to a new entrance and canopy for the 1999-opened ''Jubilee Line'' extension. © Treflyn Lloyd-Roberts
Bulleid-designed 4 EPB No. 5503 is seen departing Waterloo East for Charing Cross, underneath the then new glazed upper half of the lattice footbridge. The red line immediately below the roof, above the driver's cab window, indicated that this unit comprised closed compartments. © Treflyn Lloyd-Roberts
