RD22286a(vid). 484002 on Test at Ryde.

            RD22286a(vid).  Part One of a video showing the ex London Transport D78 District Line stock when it was on test runs on the Isle of Wight ‘Island Line’.  It was extensively refurbished and modernised by a company called Vivarail that  re-purposed the D78 stock trains for further use using diesel, electric or battery power. 

The D78s used on the Isle of Wight are electric third rail units like the earlier pre ‘36 and 1938 stock from London Transport; they are now classified as Class 484 by South Western Railway that runs the Island Line.  

The video was taken at Ryde Esplanade with shots of the trains on Ryde Pier and entering and leaving Ryde Tunnel.  

The Class 484 trains entered service on the 1st November, 2021, a month after I shot this video.
