5 car Class 395

[user15681]

Southeastern live running information is showing that 17:45 Dover Priory to St Pancras International will be formed of 5 coaches instead of 6? Is this an error on their website? Later services formed from the same train also say 5 vice 6. Or has a coach been removed from a 395?

Its likely to be an error in the system as ive had the same issue as its says that 375/9's are formed of 3 coaches apparently...

Its an error and most 375/9's are formed of 3 coaches apparently...

I don't think it's a 375....
38 mins Ashford to St P HL is a bit optimistic for an electrostar.
They could go there of course (the dual voltage ones), but they don't.

ps - It's unlikely that a 395 is running round as a 5 car, more likely that it's got a coach locked out of use perhaps?

Ah, the locked out coach seems logical. Thanks.

No they couldn't. Lack of in cab signalling

You'd end up with a Eurostar pushing an Electrostar anyway :P

375/9 is 4 car, 375/3 is 3 car. And no Electrostar can use HS1. Looks like you're in a bit of a pickle :P

I know 375/9's are 4 car, as I said its a likely to be a error as every 375/9 ive caught so far this has been listed as a 3 car on the information/boards at Dover Priory. No pickles here!!

I know its not a 375, I said its likely to be a error

Damn, I really need to stop disregarding vital words, it's hindering me in my exams!
