I was down at Barnham, in the wonderful 3rd rail land, recently. I saw what might have been a VEP, although I suspect I may have been wrong, leaving towards Portsmouth. I was watching it, and it looked like something blew up at the back of the train. I then looked at the track and noticed the rail not there then.

Its when the third rail changes to the other side of the track, you get a spark, sometimes a shower of sparks depanding if theres de-icer or not.

Ah, thought as much after looking down the Bognor Regis branch.

I should have asked you before...
