THE EPB Preservation Group has launched a project to restore Class 416 EMU No. 5759 for operation on the national network.
The two-car third-rail electric unit (DMBSO No. 65373 and DTS No. 77558), based at Southall depot, London, has been restored for use as hauled stock. It is worked on rare occasions by a diesel-electric loco or, as at the Mid-Hants Railway’s July diesel gala, by battery-electric motor luggage van (MLV) No. 68001.
