No. 205018 is seen entering the staggered platform layout at Edenbridge, forming a Reading to Tonbridge service. The rusty conductor rails show that electrification is imminent. This scene has been largely transformed, the offices on the right having given way to high density housing. Note that even at this time the dock platform, complete with timber cattle pens, still existed, although then recently fenced off. © David Glasspool Collection

No. 205032 is seen entering Nutfield from the Tonbridge direction. The photograph was taken from the footbridge which had been erected two years previously as part of the Redhill to Tonbridge electrification scheme. Conductor rails were in place, but had yet to be used. © David Glasspool Collection
