[Andy1673]

Wow 6 pairs out today!? Out of interest what diagrams are the last three covering for, if not in the original plan?

Five pairs. Two of them covering 701 diagrams

11 of 13 out today Wow! What a gorgeous penultimate day!

11 of 13 out today Wow! What a gorgeous penultimate day!

If the general belief that 5710 and 5737 have been stood down and were meant to go for scrap today is to be believed then that's 11 out 11!

Thanks for this, I've updated the main post.

With thanks to Rich the Eagle for the diagrams, I deliberately tweaked my commute to the office this morning to take 2J16. Quick snap attached.

 

[Rich the Eagle]

Update: The 2nd half of diagram WM601/602 has been taken over by 5712+5716.

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Anyone on 5870/5873? I think I’ll jump on just for Vauxhall - Waterloo and back in an hour and a half.

 

[ccityplanner12]

2M64 was interesting. A Chessingtonian tagged poor old '5716 at South and ran off up the line, so the driver drove really slowly to avoid hitting him, then we ran non-stop after Motspur Park on the fasts!

2J69 spotted at Surbiton – it turned up an Aventra.

Thanks for letting me know what happened. I planned to get it at Motspur Park but the non-stop run meant I wouldn’t be able to get 2G63 to Guildford via Cobham.

There was a late change to 5727+5871’s workings and they went to Dorking for final journey instead of Hampton Ct.

No 455s out today, End of an era.

 

[UP13]

No 455s out today, End of an era.

First time since 1983?

 

[sad1e]

First time since 1983?

There was a Sunday a few weeks ago when none were out due to engineering works , But this is probably the first Regular service day with none out since 1983.

 

[442Haz]

Keep an eye out in January. Suspect we’ve not seen the very last of them just yet.

 

[PrincesWinsdor]

I believe they are the last trains that display two digit route numbers.

 

[sad1e]

Nope , Chiltern turbos display route numbers.

Are you speculating, or do you know something we don’t?

I hope not...I'd love another go.

Down Bournemouth yesterday but didn't see any on the outward or return journeys..Not even in Wimbledon unless they were hidden around the back/shed.

 

[southern442]

Thanks for letting me know what happened. I planned to get it at Motspur Park but the non-stop run meant I wouldn’t be able to get 2G63 to Guildford via Cobham.

I was on that, clocked it at 74mph through Earlsfield!

1037 round trip caped due to train crew issues on RTT. 1207 still booked as 455.

 

[vla50]

Are there any 455s out today? Can’t for the life of me find any on RTT! Regards

None today, but keep an eye out during the week. Next Sunday may see another 455 related Shuttle service as it's probably preferable to use up mileage on a rust bucket. The Sunday Chessington shuttle being 455 was a good idea!

 

[Nimbus020]

HNY! - solo 458 530 is working the Chessington South ‘shuttles‘ today

Why are the trains only going as far as Wimbledon today?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was as much lack of available stock. The use of Wimbledon Park for turnback might have ruled out 701s, 458/5s used elsewhere, 458/4s aren't cleared leaving only 450s and 455s.

Why are the trains only going as far as Wimbledon today?

The fasts between Clapham Junction and Wimbledon are closed again today, back open tomorrow and this weekend.

 

[Big Jumby 74]

The use of Wimbledon Park for turnback might have ruled out 701s

Maximum 8 cars for turnback moves. Anything longer has to go further in to the depot which only Wimbledon drivers sign I believe.

 

[route101]

Any class 455s out today!
