The Odd Couple - 24 April 2021

With an old chimney making a pleasing distraction from the fence, a view across Eastleigh reveals and odd pair, apparently coupled. On the left is former Gatwick Express luggage van GLV 68505 now a de-icing van with Network Rail and, on the right, Class 117 DMS 977988 (formerly 51413) and used with a DMBS by Chiltern on 'leaf busting' duties.

I am grateful to my friend David Hann for much of the detailed information.
