These pictures show the final train to run from Brighton to Kemptown. DEMU No.1205, operated by Woking Homes Committee was commissioned on 26th June to give enthusiasts a last chance to say farewell to a truly remarkable railway. As steam was withdrawn across the board in the Southern region around 1967, a diesel-electric unit was the only viable alternative.
