Oh it could have been switching from overhead to third rail... I never actually went on the train to Brighton, I just remember the pantograph coming down.

- isostatic 8y agoStill does it now, there's a similar switchover north of Shepherds Bush. The Southern 350s used to stop when I got that train, I think the overground trains can raise/lower on the fly. I assume there's a similar changeover in East London. Before 2009 and HS1 to St Pancras, Eurostar also switched from overhead to third rail, on the fly I think, somewhere near Ashford.
