As with my Southern Region, South Eastern Division Bulleid pacific photos, I have just a few from the Central Division. Only because that class were often used on a handful of trains between London and Brighton via the Oxted line system into 1962. Quality mainly not that good, but I am pleased I have the photos. And I can just about remember taking those around Croydon in winter 1961/62.
