Class 416 2EPB EMU's on the north london line.wmv

[@Flipper-hd6cx]

The "idiot bars" were due to Hampstead Heath tunnel having very restricted clearances, and that the thought of being decapitated might spoil the enjoyment of looking out of the window.

@mk1emufan a must visit, including the EMU weekend in sept

the black triangle means that its the end with the guards/luggage compartment.hope this helps

[@smleonard55]

Just fantastic. Can remember them in service both on the NLL and th Southern and now on my layout as the Bachmann offering has just arrived! have you got any of the 501s?

[@TrainFan_95]

Such lovely EMUs - great to see good quality filming of them. I would love to see one in operation - are there any preserved examples?

[@p5aul789]

I see they have the idiot bars on the windows to deter passengers leaning out of the window too far, or indeed stopping someone's enjoyment of looking out of the window.

2両編成の普通列車。

[@djmonsta200883]

Can someone please tell me what the black triangle on the front means? Been wondering for years. Is it that it is a 2 car train? I've only ever seen it on these trains, or the diesel equivalent (thumpers).

nice emus but the 501s ruled this route r.i.p units.

[@GrahamPearson-oo4uy]

The Class 501 electric units had retired by then.

[@MrGriser]

When did they withdraw EPBs from the North London line?

[@lewisculverwell9063]

1988 before the class 313s replaced them
