395018 out of traffic for extended period

[Redders345]

Hi,

I've noticed that Class 395 unit 395018 has been out of traffic for quite long time now. Does anyone know why it has been stopped for so long please?

Thought that was the ramsgate incident ? It doesn't surprise me it's taking a while to fix I'm sure they had to consult Japan?

That was 395008 I believe

Correct, 395008 and it’s currently in the Hitachi roads at Eastleigh Arlington.

395008 is out of traffic but so is 395018. Hasn't been seen out for a while

Apologies yes you're right.

018 has been out several times this month, although prior to 7th April it wasn't out since January.

I’ve worked 395018 twice this week. It has been modified with different onboard cameras and PIS displays, as has 395027.

As the original thread for it is now closed, figured I'd post here. It would appear that the 2 carriages from 395008 will be returning to Southeastern tomorrow on 7Q95 from Eastleigh to Ashford.

Any news on the other 4?

 

[CR165022]

Fairly sure those 4 have remained at Ashford the whole time since the incident

Can confirm they did, I saw them last week in the depot.
