Hi Keith, I popped in to see the team at Long Rock on Saturday (3rd November 2018). I was down there in case of Pilotworking as high winds were Southerly and the main line could have been affected. Although the sea did wash onto the trains, fortunately the signalling was not affected.
57602 was present following its work down on the sleeper service and was undergoing a B exam. Two power cars in green were in the shed, 43004 / 43016. The last occupant was 08410. The depot really is splendid, unlike TMDs of the past with oil and grease everywhere, it is spotless.
The energy saving lights brighten up as you walk around - something I found a little unnerving!
Cheers for now, Craig
Many thanks for your report and photographs
