Ian Osborne (left) entered the footplate grades at Brighton on 26.11.1979. Ian later passed for driving in c1984 and was a "Passed Secondman" up until early 1988, just prior to the amalgamation of the two depots. Ian was the last secondman at Brighton to be promoted through this method of the Promotion Transfer & Redundancy arrangements. 

Promotion within Brighton M.T. took many years of waiting. This was due to the Mixed Traction depot slowly loosing work over many years. It would take along time for a Secondman's seniority to become effective enough to gain their promotion at Brighton M.T. under their own rights.

Hence the reason why so many Brighton Firemen/Secondmen moved directly to Brighton E.M.U.T. or via an alternative depot to get their promotion to driver, which then enable them to transfer back to a Brighton depot or to their depot of perefrence.
