hi, i was asked by Harley Davidson to pm you about the MB3 position at Wimbledon,he tells me you been invited for a chat and look around. You should come and see for yourself, this is a great depot to work at, MB3 is a great challanging role , involves a lot of diagnostics and...

i hear it was painted pink and named after the last depot manager at Wimbledon by the Director of engineering as a joke , but don't quote me on that

next two car unit just being delivered as i type this , two Allely's low loaders just arrived with 456015.

not delivered yet. As of tonight (17/10/14) Colas 47 'Rebbecca' is hooked up to 8005 with it's translators , train has been cancelled due to a fault on one of the translators, so the train is sat up at Top yard for now.

458503 currently sat on 7 rd being commisioned as i type this.

From what i hear the contractor doesn't get paid till the unit is in service , the two we have are still sitting on 9 road , i can only presume they'll stay ther till the contractor finishes them, we are having a bad run with contractors it seems . what with the 458 fiasco and the 2 million quid...

5732 has been put back together and is currently sitting on 10 rd under test, hopefully be out and about soon. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- two sets to be converted at Wimbledon , then the remainder at Eastleigh, from what i hear when at Eastleigh they are hoping for a two...

I had a good look at Rebecca and Robin of Templecombe when they were at Wimbledon and the bodies are starting to show their age , a fair bit of corrosion on them.

8005 is sitting in shed on 11 road minus shoegear and door footplates , usually a sure sign of an impending move to top yard to meet up with a Doncaster bound 47.Coupler heights being done tonight so 8005 not going anywhwere for at least 24 hrs.

Been very succesful apparently, just heard that the are increasing the usage of the MPV fleet to include other jobs out of season , the first is to be using an MPV to go round picking up all the left over rail after engineering works.

8502 in for shoegear repairs , was reported as 8532 but i believe that was in error.

458504, was due back at 03.57hrs this morning running as 5X58 this was then cancelled.8532 suffered two shoe burnouts in for repair.

i would agree with that totally, i came from outside and i love it on the railway , i earn double what i earned out there, and i get twice as much time off.

456003 on shed at wimbledon. Also 456014 from what i hear neither unit is to enter service due to being full of faults , example being doors wired up wrong , 42 way jumper wired up wrong , so that unit will not work with a 455 , and many more.

correct as of 18.47 , 47739 is hooked up to 8020 , just been up to look at it.

heard that there was one at Wimbledon on the 22/09/14

8020, looks like next unit to go to Doncaster , no date set yet though.

as far as i can see very little has been done to the interiors of our returning units , hence the blue first class seating remaining , which i think looks hideous, they must have done some work though as 501 still has plastic wrap on some of the seating , but i think in the rush to get units...

502 has been out with a brake fault , it was out on road beside bogie drop coupled to 501 .

67603 74441 74003 74103 67703 also 458501 has left the shed as of Sunday at 1800 hrs , am assuming it is out for milage accumulation.
