159002 Romsey 19 August 1992

What looks like a brand new Class 159 passes through Romsey station on 19 August 1992 with a Portsmouth to Salisbury crew training run. Note that the unit is not yet carrying any set number on the front. This is a clue to the fact that this is a Class 159 prior to conversion from a Class 158. It would later become 159002, but at this time it was still technically a Class 158 (158874). The unit would shortly be travelling to Scotland for conversion to Class 159 specifications at Rosyth Dockyard.
