Ah okay, definitely wrong then!
I saw a pair moving around the depot into the wash roads, are these being tested too?

In which case, if it is still on road 11 in the shed, I may just have seen it! (Should have brought binoculars!)

Thank you! (In which case I haven’t seen it yet…) I will just have to be patient and wait out on the road.

Wow. The 701s must be a long long way off returning if they are returning long stored 455s back to use!

Problem with any new train fleet introduction, especially with one the size of the 701's (the entire suburban fleet) will take time, even if after the first units are in service, the remainder of the roll-out goes to (the latest) plan, it will still take longer than many people expect. Simple logistics, not only the physical accommodation of new and old outgoing units on the patch, but changes to associated stock and crew diagrams every week or so, all takes time to plan and implement. The 458/5 and 707 introduction, although far smaller in unit numbers, still experienced a number of hic-ups during their introduction, whereby plans that had been put in place and issued, had to be postponed at odd intervals. But it got there in the end.
Given the overall situation, as I understand it (not personally being involved in any way whatsoever I will add) it's likely they'll need as many serviceable 455's on hand as possible in the interim, especially with this covid WFH scenario now being a very unpredictable factor going forward perhaps?

Think this is testing 458 translation compatibility as 10 car after 8507 and 8517 had to be sent up singly. Not sure if a 458 will actually leave on Monday.

There’s always been some booked 5 car workings on the Windsor side.
There haven't been since I guess the first Covid emergency timetable in 2020, but there are now some again as of February.

Mentioned somewhere on this forum (I forget which thread) that some Hounslow loop/Weybridges are booked single 458s outside the peaks.
they're definitely running as 5 cars in the peak times, I had one the other day
Yes, I did the list but can't remember where either!

5863 is alive and well saw it standing next to 5740 today.
5855 looks in a bad way on 22rd.
Could hear a loco which was near some 458s near the main line but in the yard but couldn't see what was going on as other trains in the way.

It was not too dificult. As part of my monitoring of which 458s are in service, to identify those which have been long term absent, I already knew which 19 458s were in service am and pm on Monday, and which trains that they were on. It is quite simple to follow through those diagrams on RTT. The tricky part is the five diagrams that go on to Wimbledon between the peaks because there is a fair amount of variation from one day to the next as to how those five units (or even if it is the same five units) come back out, due to maintainance requirements and occasional service disruption. But "5920" post #712 kindly answered all of those questions.
A couple of 455s that have been long term absent from passenger service have both returned to use today;
455708 (with 455905 on 2D22) - my last record of 455708 was 28/10/21
455863 (with 455737 on 2D18) - my last record of 455863 was 15/12/21

I’d rather see it in four car formation with South Western livery. I’m dying to know what they’ll look like.
very much required here!- Status
