Last [?] Mk.1 stock overnight trains tonight   
Tonight, that is overnight Sunday night to Monday morning, I am pretty
sure what are the last diagrammed UK trains with Mk.1 stock will take
place.

4Cig 1866 is presently (Sunday afternoon) on diagram that should lead
it to 02:00 Victoria - Three Bridges, 02:55 3B-VA, 04:00 VA- Brighton.

Diagram is 377 from the following night (Monday night into Tuesday
morning).

Anyone desperate enough going to mark the occasion o0f last MK.1
overnight trains ?

Speaking of 4 Cigs, is No. 1876 still around? This unit became quite a
favourite of mine, having seen it around many a time in its latter
days. I saw it at Ramsgate last year, the unit still sporting a tidy
Network SouthEast livery.

SET dispensed with Cigs ages ago.

SN as at this weekend the fleet drops from 1805 1860 1864 1866 to just
1805 and 1866.

1860 may appear on Monday a.m. peak as it is at Littlehampton (maybe
foe 06:4-blurr to LB) and there is a tendency to work such berthed
units into London a.m. then back to Brighton and withdraw.

Is there likely to be a farewell railtour, similar to the one
organised by SWT on 12th June?

Except for Brockenhurst-Lymington, where Mk 1s are set to continue for
some time yet.

What problem are you having with the word 'overnight' that is in the
subject and in the opening phrase of the sentence you have quoted.
