Seems pointless to delay the departure to only clean one side of the train. And who is responsible for the cleaning Stadler ? Merseyrail ?

Why was only one side cleaned ? Because it was done in Calais ? I don’t understand

So I have just seen on RT that it did run today but unfortunately I missed it . How did you know this one would run as the previous ones I set my alarm for were cancelled ! Thanks

I wondered if anyone had any info on the class 777 arriving in the UK in the next few weeks ? It doesn’t look like I’ll be back up north for a while so I would love to try catch a view elsewhere. thanks

Thanks

Hi there I’m not sure if this is the correct section for this post but I’d like to know if anyone knows of times / dates the new class 777 will be travelling upto Liverpool as I’m living down south at the moment And would love to get a sighting . I won’t be back up north anytime soon...

I was travelling past Wembley freight depot and I am sure I saw a class 315 overground amongst the freights or did I imagine this ? I wonder where most of them have gone? To be scrapped ? Warm storage ? Or sold on ...

Oh very interesting. Thanks for the history . And is it the same for the other sidings you mentioned ? Only used for disruptions etc

Ah ok , so it seems like it is just on random occasions that it is needed to be used

Brilliant . So are these to be built in Wales or Spain ? Or Is it still undecided. Let’s hope it is kept I the Uk.

Ah interesting . I am actually staying near mudchute due to the lockdown and I thought that i might have seen it used due to the reduced service of the DLR to make space at the depots but still it is always empty. Thanks for the reply

So every time i start my journey at Mudchute I always look at the siding and wonder if it is every used ? I see there is also a siding in the middle of the tracks in between Mudchute and Crossharbour. I wondered if anyone knew if they are ever used and what for ?

So some of the trains are starting / terminating at Hurst Green for another few days or have the points been fixed now ? It must have been a nightmare for Southern trains recently .

Ah I see . Thanks for clearing it up. It was just because the station worker told me that some trains will be terminating / starting from Hurst green for another few days so this got me confused .

But that only says until the end of service ? It doesn’t say tommorow or the next day etc
