Hi,
I wonder if anyone could tell me what the consist of the clacton interval service would have been in the early 1950s. From photos and from what my father remembers of it it was an 8 coach train dividing at Thorpe-le-soken with three coaches going to Walton-on-the-naze and five to Clacton-on-sea.
Also if possible could someone provide the likely coach diagrams that may have been seen on this train at that time. I don't have any books on LNER coaches and while i have been able to research the Colchester-Clacton suburban stock online I am pretty lost with the corridor coach diagrams.
Cheers
