701/5s Wimbledon and Clapham Yard 20.08.26:
At about 1130 today, 701516, 701525 and 701515 were sitting on 8 car roads in Wimbledon Park Top Yard. Round the back of East Wimbledon depot were 701002, 701038 and 701526 (it could not be seen if this was coupled to another): Keeping them company was 458533, while 458530 had been moved further up the yard but was still present. It was previously sat at the buffers, so perhaps something is happening with it ?
Inside East Wimbledon depot, on the track furthest from the main line, which seems to be used for commissioning was 701511 coupled to another, which could not be identified, but must surely be 701507 (which it arrived with a few days back).
At Clapham Yard at 1200: 701528 + 701529 were sitting in their usual spot, while across the yard were 701512, 701503 and 701520, each coupled to another 701/5 which could not be identified. Around 1230, 701028 turned up on the Windsor site with banners across the inside of the doorways, training - showing "Chiswick" on the vehicle destination screens!
I did not see 701029, but there was something (unidentified) almost out of sight right down the Wandsworth end of 49 Road, which they use for training.
There must be a number of 701/5s now at Farnham - several 5Qxx moves (Wimbledon to Farnham) have been reported on this site but there has been little in the way of identification - anyone know what is there ?
