Just saw this thread and hard to believe just over 30 years ago.

Was on a northbound 423 the morning of 15th Oct and stopped at Hurst Green same time as the Uckfield southbound train with the green unit in formation stopped on the other platform.

Was a bit of a shock later in the day to see the Cowdon accident on the front page of the early Sunday papers which happened a few minutes after passing the service.

No one called them 423s! Always known as VEPs
