313 at Selhurst??

[RichJF]

Hi all,

Today on the train to London Bridge, I caught a glimpse of a 313 stabled in the distance at Selhurst Depot.

I couldn't get a unit number as it was quite a distance away; but does anyone have any idea why it's up at Selhurst? Maintenance?

Thanks.

More than likely. They frequent Selhurst quite often.

Maintenance, paint job who knows.

More strange when you see an FCC train in the depot.

Was it an FCC one or a Southern one?

Southern 313.

It was strange, as in the 15months I've been commuting to London I've never seen one stabled there! A class 73 yes but not a 313

As said above, they go up there frequently, just sometimes you can see them there - sometimes you cant !!

I've spotted a 313 a couple of times when I've had to walk through Heavers Meadow (the path next to the depot) to get to Selhurst Station when theres engineering works. Its kinda hidden from the mainline heading towards London Bridge.

They usually frequent Selhurst Depot for the wheel lathe.
