| Taken from the window of Mitcham junction signal box in 1970,
this shot of a Bulleid 4-Sub shows what appears to be a very rare working
indeed as it is emanating from the West Croydon direction. The reality was that
the line from Mitcham Junction to Sutton was the subject of extensive
engineering works spread over several Sundays and the unit is simply returning
from its short shunt up the branch so that it could reverse and return to
Victoria.

| The entrance to a Sub cab was directly via a door which also
served as the cab side window. Operating in difficult weather makes dangerous
demands on the operating staff, including here at Clapham Junction climbing
from the cab and walking between the tracks in proximity to the third rail.
