Class 03 179 Clive on shed at Wansford Nene Valley Railway on the 1st March 2008

First Capital Connect was not a name that spring's to mind when talking about diesels, it large fleet of EMUs ran to London from Peterborough Kings Lynn and Bedford.

This class 03 was based at First Capital Connects Hornsey Depot in 2008 . It job was move the EMUs about the depot. This was only when there was no overhead electricity or the EMU pantograph was not working or damaged or some other fault that meant it could move under its own power.

The class 3 did just a a few miles around the yard at Horsey, is why it was so clean or had it been doon up for it visit to the NVR.
