    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    You seem sure its a brakes failure. Are you sure of that?
  2. Class377/5

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    Still be a table for his bits in there I think :D
  3. Class377/5

    Southeastern class 376 diagrams.

    Atleast one has been to Smithfield Sidings. Saw it appear one evening on the southbound at Blackfriars and was rather surprised.

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    Thought GTR had said no tables but plugs and wifi as they are pure metro units?
  5. Class377/5

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Er not a clue unless your making a joke?
  6. Class377/5

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    It's arrived this morning. Saw it as I came in.

    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    Correct. The DV 350/1 ran as a 12 cars from WCML to Basingstoke to prove the concept.

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    I'm curious for drivers side as the 700 is great for viewing angles. The 717 completely change that. Looks are as dividing as the interior it seems :D
  9. Class377/5

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    Actually from what I understand the restrictions are more strict on the Thameslink Core than NCL. The 717 have the same body as all others Desiro Cities. The 717s have a end door which dispruts the Desiro City look in a couple of ways.

    Will there be more East Midlands Trains calling at Luton?

    Beckenham Junction TL service are withdrawn in December 2017 TT change IIRC.
  11. Class377/5

    Will there be more East Midlands Trains calling at Luton?

    There seems to be a lot of confusion on this so I will round up the plans. The new 2tph Corby to St Pancras electric service from 2019 will be calling at Bedford and Luton with the airport asking for 2tph all day service minimum. This is part of the East Midlands franchise. What the...

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    Although it seems you've posted this before no-one has actually stated the reason (on this thread) why the 313s can't be withdrawn by another other stock. The Northern City Line (NCL) is a maximum of six coaches at the underground station so any stock needs to be in multiples of 3 or 6. Nothing...

    Class 313 GN withdrawal plan

    No plans like that exist.

    Electrostar GTR cascade

    Remember that SE was expecting 25x 377 so if they take only the 377/5 then they won't have more than 23 units. All I will say it's it's a multi stage cascade so lots going on.
  15. Class377/5

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Just some vinyl stickers that are fairly easy to apply/remove externally and internal stickers. Don't forget SE is having the 377/5 for a few months yet as the cascade of 377s off Southern to SE is due yet. I can't remember just how many units are ready at the moment, have to check my...

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    On Southern the DV fleet is SU and rest are BI. Believe the plan is the 377/2 all to be SU and 377/5 for BI. Meanwhile with the 700s, there will be a delivery on Wednesday this week.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    It's a Wildenrath being tested. It's done a lot of miles so far and may not be over any time soon.
  18. Class377/5

    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    they run for a few thousand miles already so where the issue? So far in all of Thameslink/Siemens commissioning where only been one or two incidents where a commissioning train has come to grief. But the test pratice is no different to anyone else's testing with the 387s using the WCML, WLL...

    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    Roughly every fortnight once the programme gets going. Shouldn't be too long now.
  20. Class377/5

    Class 387 to GN

    There's not been that many responses that I've seen but depends on how it was reported. However widespread comments on here and not so much with the general public. Your assuming there is one fault at present from your December report. It wasn't. Also it's a brand new database wih the...
