999 450s arrived & built!

[Tom]

450 999 prepares to depart Woking with the 1702 Exeter St Davids to London Waterloo, calling at all stations.

 

[Oracle]

Ha! Is it a BTP special? Where's the blue flashing light?

The States of Guernsey Police Land Rover on Alderney is rego AY 999...they just transfer it to the next cop car when acquired.

[Nathan]

No, it's actually 022.

[Tom]

[Coxster]

Wow! Shall I ask why SWT Want 99 Desiros!

Standardise their fleet even further, although if you stand at any SWT station these days it seems like there are already 999 in service...

 

[mbonwick]

Bring back the 442's!

 

[5872]

Bring back the 442's!

Patience there coming back , ive seen in some pictures only desiros no proper units like 455s , the desiros are everywhere and you still get some spare!

 

[Coxster]

proper units like 455s

What the bloody hell did you just say?!

 

[Guinness]

What the bloody hell did you jusy say?!

I know. Fred777 actually posted something with correct spelling. Unlike you Damon

 

[devon_metro]

Can you please adjust the size of your signature? Its far to wide for 800x600!

 

[mbonwick]

I know. Remarkable. Isn't it


But, I think Damon was refering to Fred's slagging off of the 442's, and saying that 455's were quality (which they obviouly aren't )

I was just a bit surprised to see "quality" and "455" in the same sentence.

Chaz: :thefinge:

On the subject, memorex, could you do the same? (For exactly the same reason)







Anyway Liam, wasn't it you who told me 800 x 600 was crap?

[Nathan]

Bring back the 442's!

Blaspheme! The descision is yet to be made, I've got to see it to believe it.

Nathan, what setting is the A/C on the 450s near you?

a. Sub-zero
b. Sahara

The ones on the Addlestone branch are all b.

WHY DO YOU LIKE THEM???

 

[mbonwick]

From uncyclopedia.org

Desiro — made fom four large tin cans welded together to resemble something that looks slightly like a train. The air conditioning has two settings: "Off" or "Arctic". If you take a packed lunch you will need to defrost it before eating, and your ice-cream will melt, making a nice mess on the carpet and of your already frozen packed lunch. There is, just to add to your frustration, no buffet on these trains - only the trolley which only comes round on days with the letter z in them, on months only with the letter x in them.

I agree with kettlefan

 

[kettlefan]

Everytime I travel on one, the interior of the train is hotter than the outside temperature...

c. Comfortably cool ie, just a little under room temp

I was on a couple this afternoon and they were all fine (as always ). Im not as big a fan of the 450s compared to 444s but i'll take what i can get so long as its a desiro. But i do like the 442s for photting *he says shyly*.

I do find it hard to get good shots of them as easily as the 442s, i think its because I get exited at the sight of a Desiro !

 

[Tom]

Nathan doesn't take photos of 444s, he takes videos because they go too fast.

It's just the same train on a different bodyshell you pedantic fool.

Who said I use 800x600

 

[Nathan]

Only because my shutter speed (which i can not set) is too slow. I vary the two, photos for stoppers and film for fasts.

 

[5872]

455s have more quality then a blue or white thing that goe EeEeEe , when I see 450s there always like the desert inside , no windows like normal trains , 450s are here , there and everywhere there like EWS 66s EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! too many , 127 450s + 45 444s against, 91 455s 30 jops and about 32 159s you might aswell electrify salsibury theres so many!!!
