Hastings Diesel Swansong

Operated by The Hastings Diesels Group and the Southern Electric Group

8th August 1987

Even though the Hastings units had all been withdrawn by 1986 a pair of units lingered on for a little while so when these units were finally withdrawn the last two units 202001 (1013) & 203001 (1011) ran the final tour. After this tour 202001(1013) went into preservation and 203001 lingered on for another three  years until being taken into departmental use
