    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    You would not need to replace the 455s one for one with 701s over the whole suburban network. Just cover them with displaced 405s so you could concentrate the 701s on a restricted area of the network

    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    Looking forward to these being introduced. I am already enjoying them when travelling via Hounslow. As I mainly travel off peak the reduction in seat numbers does not effect me. I think they are very comfortable.

    Cheapest ticket from Luton to Sunbury Monday to Friday?

    I sometimes use the 235 bus at school times and the children are quite feral. It's not unusual for them to pile on using the centre doors without regard of anything or anyone that gets in their way.

    Class 701 SWR introduction delays: what should happen now?

    If Windsor and shepperton are fully compatible why not at least get both these routes fully converted

    Cheapest ticket from Luton to Sunbury Monday to Friday?

    It's not necessarily faster. I have a friend who lives in Sunbury and travels Via Feltham by preference as it is not slower due to the 50 minute Sunbury Waterloo journey time. Also there is a better service between Feltham and Waterloo.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Given how they can get 6 units out fairly regularly what is preventing other units from being ready for service?

    TOC football charters

    I think the difference is between TOCs that regularly run extra services for football games that are public services and trains chartered by football clubs that are not open to the general public. The thread title implies the latter.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    That's interesting seeing that they have recently replaced all the lighting at Feltham. I assumed at the time it was for DCO reasons.

    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    I really like these trains, admittedly I travell off peak where the 8 car 2x2 seating doesn't cause a problem. They are the most comfortable trains on the Windsor lines. I can't speak for how they compare to 158/9s and 444s.

    I think that the planning date bug only relates to Google pixel phones
