    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    Actually you didn't. I was objecting to that statement.

    Any possibility of a service from Southeastern to West Anglia via Stratford?

    Theres a reason why it won't be popular, and it's ignored by BML2. It's not where people want to go. Gatwick for example is a major employer for Sussex and there is a lot of airport/airline staff who travel to/from Gatwick to the South Coast.

    Any possibility of a service from Southeastern to West Anglia via Stratford?

    There's a plan for the BML and it isn't BML2. As that fails to deal with the main issue, the overcrowding from stations between West Coastway/Preston Park and London.

    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    Don't confuse bodyshell as the be all and end all of. There a massive different between tech inside the train you won't see. They may look the similar but the tech running them is massively different.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    The 377 4 car fleet is operated as one single fleet with only the DV diagrams (that doesn't cover all the DV 377s btw) being different so no. The 377/2 should be rarely seen on these diagrams. In fact you'll find the ex 442 paths used by a lot of different units as they tie into the...

    Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

    377/6 and /7 are compatible with all other 377s hence the classification where as the 387s aren't. The numbers of trains means nothing today. Desiro Cities will be 700/707/717 with Aventra being 345/710. The latter makes even less sense, even if the latter is historical.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Other than the 442 timing (can't remember them at present) your pretty much spot on for everything.

    Class 387 to GN

    Wasn't actually reported to staff quickly but appeared on here first. Helps if reports come in as GTR doesn't read this forum these days. However now told the fix has been sorted and shouldn't be having problems much longer. And cause identified (and I'm surprised it's so) but cant give details.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    It'll change nothing as people have been standing at doors waiting for them to open on Thameslink since befor the 377s arrived.

    Class 387

    They moved Wednesday night (all six did that night IIRC). They were leaving the depot as my train home passed. Only 387124 is around the BML at present.

    Class 387 to GN

    That's because it used the same database as the 377/5 so was already in existence. The GN database its completely brand new (even the 377/5 on introduction weren't wholly new for parts south of the river).

    Class 387 to GN

    When did I say it is the law please? It amazes me when people make things up to attack on this forum. I stated its important to consider other groups.

    London Bridge - Brighton: Thameslink or Southern?

    By May 2018 timetable change, the Brighton to London Bridge service will be extended to Cambridge. All services will be 700s by this point. However the current weekday timetable is tied to Southern services so needs a big re-write that is part of next year. The weekends are a different...

    Class 387

    That's impossible as all 387s have left. With the expection of 387124, all are at Hornsey.

    Class 387 to GN

    New software update went a tad late. Fix incoming. Because now you get fined if your not announcing/displaying on for blind/deaf people. Might be funny joke to see the message up but if you have problems, ie your blind, then all the PA announcements in the world won't help. And post 2020...

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Try looking back at the posted diagrams for all your answers.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    As that doesn't exist and I had to build everything myself it's quite easy to be cut and pasted every time I update. Or have a 700 diagrams thread?

    Class 387

    That's impossible. The air pressure would blow the doors open! The seals around the doors aren't air tight even when the doors are closed!

    Class 387

    Pair of 377/5 not 387. Conformed by people on group as they are held and not for traffic.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Indeed I do. What I get for messaging on the way home after a long day!
