From about 1987 to 1995, I used to commute from Weymouth on NSE trains on a daily basis. Before the 442 "Wessex Electrics" were introduced, the 07.17 service used to use old slam door stock, but can anyone tell me what class of loco used to pull the service, and the general composition of the train - I know there was at least one corridor coach, which I'm guessing was a Mk 1, as I used to sit in a standard class compartment sometimes, but can anybody confirm? I can't find any details on the web.
