Thanks. I thought around the turn of the century would be about right.

Back in December 2022 I was lucky enough to catch a picture of 56081 with 69004 on a RHTT train on platform one at London Victoria. I would like to ask here, prior to this date when was the last time a class 56 visited the terminal? I cannot find anything on a google or Flickr search. Thanks...

The train does go to Dover, the stop isn’t advertised on the train or the passenger information screens at stations. After Faversham it is advertised as Ramsgate only. The service reverses at Dover and goes to Ramsgate, not 100% sure if a door release is given at Dover so passengers from there...

While I’m here can I ask about 37688 too?

If anyone here is a driver, there are certain types of stock where the driver can hear the passengers behind them in the saloon, and oh boy some of the conversations I’ve heard over the years. There’s lovely people who threaten to do this that and the other to people down the phone. What...

I was in the blue water car park years ago, and can’t remember the make or model of car, it was silver and had the number plate WH05 JAM

We as in SE employees by our management

Hi everyone. We’ve been told that 13 class 377s will be coming over to SE shortly, this is to replace more networkers. I guess they’re to replace 465s on some of the Ashford/gillingham runs? Would 52 coaches be enough to replace the remaining 465/9 fleet? And some 2 cars?

As a driver I’ve read this report and as sad as it is, we will never know who was driving. Here’s my thoughts… Most of the report findings I agree with but in the absence of a data recorder we will never know… I agree with the report that if the AWS was isolated the driver was expected to...

376003 has been stopped at Ramsgate pending a “exterior/interior” trial.

According to some of the older drivers, it was 60mph throughout many years back, but residents living above the tunnel were complaining of vibration from the trains, so they lowered it to 30mph and it’s been that way ever since.

Just a quick snap at Ashford:-)

Hi all. I’ve heard a rumour that all the remaining metcam networkers on southeastern will be withdrawn at the December timetable change. Any truth in this? JJ

Thanks. Pretty sure I read somewhere that 47828 has to be returned before the 37.

With the purchase of 37401 and 37409. Alongside their 37521 & 667, are there plans to hand back 37688 to the Severn Valley?

No worries!

It may have changed as per the autumn timetable introduction, but I'm fairly certain it was the 1312 and the 1412 off Victoria on a Sunday that was networker. It also isn't guaranteed to be a 465/9. 465/0s and 465/1s have been used on the services as well.

Bromley South, St Mary Cray and Maidstone East are bat and flag.

I was a participant on the jolly slatemen tour in 2021. Got allocated a seat in a mk1 compartment. First one since the slam door units left us, the stock was immaculate and well taken care of! Got chatting to two gents in the compo and the day just flew by!

DOO as far as Otford. Conductor the rest of the way.
