Surbiton station in 1982, with Class 508 unit 508032 standing at the platform beneath the station’s broad flat canopies and stark concrete buildings. The scene is full of useful period detail, including the yellow cab front, blue British Rail livery, Surbiton nameboards, tall lamp standards, platform fencing and the rough open ground in the foreground. Dominating the background is the large WINTHROP office block, giving the whole photograph a very strong early-1980s suburban-commercial feel. The contrast between the workaday station environment, the modern office architecture and the clean-lined EMU captures Surbiton as a busy commuter station in the years before Network SouthEast branding began to reshape the look of stations and trains across this part of the Southern Region.
