    Replied with quote to give some sort of link...
    73136 is berthed to a couple of AB GUV vans which the Southern Region used exclusively on boat trains to and from Southampton Docks and Weymouth Quay. The rake of first class stock would have been used on a Southampton Docks Boat train. Again this stock was air braked to stop "poaching" when the stock went off region.

    5632. Note the SR pattern platform starting signal with only 3 bulbs on the route indicator. The SL to FL crossover at the Falcon Jn end of Clapham Jn (Brighton side) was abolished in the resignalling in 1982/1983.

    I hope this fill in info is useful.

    Cheers, Neil
