Class 319, 319013 arrives as the lead unit of an 8 coach service from St.Albans to Sutton via Wimbledon. A look-out man stands on the platform providing warning for a small team of engineers working on the down slow line to the south of the station. 319013 is wearing Southern livery but is operated by First Capital Connect as part of their Thameslink Great Northern franchise. This franchise is due to end in September 2014 and from July 2015 the Southern franchise will be merged with the Thameslink Great Northern one to form the Thameslink Southern & Great Northern franchise. New Siemens Class 700 units will start to enter service on the route in 2016 displacing the current class 319's which may be refurbished and see service elsewhere in the country.
