And it seems even a class 118! https://flic.kr/p/e1BeEG Plenty of pics of 116 104 117 121 127 on Flickr if you search Kentish Town Barking or Gospel Oak Barking

I believe it is something like this: 1960s to about 1968/1969 Class 113 Cravens Rolls Royce hydraulic transmission & Class 112 Cravens Rolls Royce mechanical transmission, often 4 cars 1969-1984 Class 116 often 4 car with very mixed formations usually 3 motor cars Occasionally a class 127 4 car...

They certainly used to be used on the NE lines to bishops stortford. Also they regularly joined up with 302 305 308. Example here https://flic.kr/p/effVZq

Think that’s what was mentioned previously

I believe it will be 2 x 755s

In today’s era I’d nominate class 153. Ridiculous looking, noisy, smelly. Back in the 70s I’d nominate class 125 DMUs, not HST but the 3 car rolls royce/derby units originally working out of Liverpool street and later out of broad st/kings x on gn suburban. Reliability very poor. See this post...

I took a trip from moorgate tonight, characterful to say the least. Dingy stations in the ex underground section, the train fans going like the clappers, windows open so the motor sounds were very loud, all sorts if clunking, banging, screeching. What a transformation is about to come, just a...

What I don’t understand is that for months and months there are short forms on the outer suburban lines. Meanwhile sidings full of idle class 319s. Madness

So things may be tight but just about manageable for now. You just have to feel for people in say 20 or so years time when all the trains will likely be less reliable than when new and then what? Now it’s possible to remove a single coach from IC sets whereas in future the whole train is out...

Can’t someone approve their move back to Anglia? Most our trains have been short formed for months now

Are you absolutely sure? Closed yes but cant find mention of fire/demolition on google

Fair enough though on the point about running them into liv st there is a franchise requirement for a couple of direct Lowestoft to liv st trains so in theory they must have planned for then to get there albeit not often?

Which perhaps poses the question why on earth not? Surely would have added flexibility given they are both being built at same time albeit different manufacturers

Will they be able to couple with class 720 so you could have say 720+755 london to Ipswich and then detach the 755 to go on to Lowestoft?

If 317s & 321s can work in multiple is there any reason why they are kept so segregated?

Will the class 755s be compatible to run with a class 720?

When I was using the lines it was bishops stort via southbury using 302/305 and occasionally 307 4-car units, the lea valley was from hertford east using 305 3-car units, same units were on enfield and chingford routes. Prior to electrification the lea valley stoppers generally only went as far...

Swanage perhaps while they wait for their own to be sorted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
