HALcyon days

HALcyon days
A pair of 2-HAL EMUs, 2627+2610 stabled at Fratton. Parked alongside is 4-COR unit 3144. These two units date back to 1938 and were built for the London to Maidstone and Gillingham services.
The designation HAL comes from the Southern Railways seeming obsession with toilets. HAL meaning HAlf Lavatory unit, ie one lavatory per two car set. Allocated as TOPS class 402.
