Driver training run cancelled last minute?

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:J80493/2026-05-17/detailed Looking at this as an example, it appears all down services have a 2 minute stop at Grove Park "for staffing reasons." Unsure what this relates to but could it possibly be to allow more than a 4-car to run down the...

STP paths in for this coming Tuesday and Wednesday as well, 5Z01 down and 5Z02 up: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:J92622/2026-03-17/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:J92621/2026-03-17/detailed Return forms the ECS to Tunbridge Wells for 2H54 so should...

Yes just finished work and seen this

Nothing out today by the looks of it, might be an idea to keep an eye on this though: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P62108/2026-02-21/detailed Nothing allocated and the diagram appears to finish up at Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings so fingers crossed

Just a heads up, 5717+5727 are out tonight as well - should currently be on the 1737 Waterloo Rounder, out via Hounslow and back via Richmond. Then booked for the following: 2C61 1920 London Waterloo to Reading 2C72 2109 Reading to London Waterloo 2S75 2252 London Waterloo to Weybridge

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L75402/2026-02-10/detailed#allox_id=0 721+732 this morning

Thought I saw a potential opportunity for the 455's on 2O53 tonight as it looks like there was a problem with 701013... Inbound ECS for the service was cancelled and now 701030 has been pinched to work 2O53, resulting in the cancellation of 1N95

Both doing well, currently on 2G48

Always when I'm working at the weekend, they end up on the Hampton Court/Dorking circuit...had all of last weekend off and they didn't make it out...might see if they're about in the week for the final final final trip on the old girls.

Glad they're still active, hope for (another) one last run before they bow out for good

Caught up with them at Wimbledon at 1743, 1724 off Hampton Court and had a ride into Waterloo. Potentially the last time unless I can get up to London again soon

Excellent, cheers for the heads up! Been a busy afternoon, otherwise would have caught them earlier but hoping to see them on the return from Hampton Court, all being well.
