395 to Dartford?

[Suggs]

Spotted on Southeastern website:

21:55 St Pancras International to Faversham due 23:03
This train will be revised.
It will call additionally at: Dartford.
It will no longer call at: St Pancras International, Stratford International and Ebbsfleet International.
This is due to signalling problems.

Now my head forces me to assume that it was replaced by a Networker (would a Javelin even fit/be permitted?), but anyone around know any more to help me sleep tonight?

Not a clue, but guessing you're a Madness fan :P?

Most likely an electrostar 375.

It would seem like Westcoaster said it was probably a 375. The 395 must have had some kind of issue.

The whole southern and southeastern regions are all Pete tong tonight, duff units,signals, conductor rails, it's all going on.

Sorry to bump thread, but travelled to Dartford last night, and in the Gravesend-bound platform (can't remember if it's p1 or p4) was a 465 to Faversham not advertised on the boards, couldn't check the website but can only assume this was a replacement for a St. Pancras - Faversham. Nothing to stop any of the others being a 375 though I guess.

Not a clue, but guessing you're a Madness fan ?

What gave it away? :P

Oh. Nothing, just reference to Suggs, and I'm assuming Prince Buster....

I believe they're cleared for the route as Ive seen a picture of a Javelin at Sidcup on test.

There have been a few instances of late of the 395s being diverted to Dartford due to signalling problems on the spur to HS1 after Gravesend.

I guess they would be able to go wherever Networkers go seeing as the Javelins have to fit in the same gauge along the North Kent Line.

Ah, didn't know that, be good to grab a picture if I was lucky sometime passing through. What I would really like to see is a 465 going into the Ebbsfleet Domestic platforms

 

[466.networkers]

I'm not sure but I don't think Networkers or Electrostars are cleared for HS1.

And only 375/6s (?) have pantographs

 

[466.networkers]

The spur (I think) is DC as the 395s change to AC on up services and DC on down services.

Only 375/6s are dual voltage.
