In 1987 a 4 Cep in "Jaffacake" livery arrives at Maidstone West with a train from Paddock Wood to Strood. This unusual but quite pleasing livery was introduced when the Hastings line was electrified in 1986 and the 4 Ceps so painted carried the name "1066 electrics". Initially confined to the Hastings line they soon started to appear elsewhere, especially at weekends when this photograph was taken.

A vanished scene on the Hastings line, at West St Leonards, where refurbished 4 Cep 1600 stands in the down platfrom during engineering works one weekend. 1600 is wearing the 'Jaffa Cake' LSE sector livery, which survived on this line longer than elsewhere, together with the '1066 Electrics' branding. Eventually the Hastings line's dedicated pool of 411s was integrated with the rest of the South Eastern fleet and the route lost much of its special identity.
