  I was the last Driver to drive 931002 one Saturday morning from Victoria to Ramsgate T&RSMD for it's usual service. It would normally return back to Victoria on the Sunday evening ready for another weeks hard work. However, on this particular Saturday, we arrived at Ramsgate depot and I put on the handbrake and after having my meal break, I worked back a fast to Victoria with a lovely 8-CEP. Sometime during that weekend, 931002 suffered a major M.G.(Motor Generator) failure and remained in the same spot exactly where I had left it, several months earlier.It was regretfully condemned and broken up. Rest in peace old friend!

  I have just noted the CEP style replacment window with hopper ventilator on the bodyside. I assume that this was done when converted to a route learner but why?

  (P.S. CEPS were fantastic units!!)

  Kev, any reason why the CEP style window was fitted as mentioned by John Horswell. Am thinking it was done to reduce draughts coming in around the original passenger door had it been retained.
