The ticket I used on the Warrington Service, I had to change trains at Warrington Bank Quay (the service did run all the way to Liverpool Lime Street but it does not anymore!)

Ah, they look familiar EMU's.

I used to travel on them from my brother's place in Putney through to Waterloo Station back in the days of Network SouthEast.

They used to be mixed in with more modern British Rail EMUs. Very nice cars to ride in too.
