The part about the c2c units leaving on Thursday in that tweet is wrong, they are still on lease until 23:59.
They’re moving next week, just not entering service until September.
The units will go to Peterborough for storage, but at some point will need to go to Hornsey to have the relevant Mods packages to bring them up to the spec of the rest of the 387 fleet.
The timings on the second move look a bit suspicious...
probably rtt getting confused when it went back to reading
Oh ok
The thing to look for when this occasionally happens, (as can be seen here), is that all those odd passing times in red are increasing as you read up the screen. The new passing time overwrites the original time recorded when the service passed in the up direction. I think, and others might confirm, it usually occurs when the service uses the same ID throughout.
Thanks!
I can only assume, but have also heard they might be used with Southern - aim for entry is the September TTC once pantograph changes/tracklink software has been implemented to the 3 with c2c.
Could be used on southerns watford service
What made you think they could be used on southerns watford service?
Dual voltage. 100mph max
Seems more likely they will run where the traincrew already sign 387s though. The guards don't appear to sign them.
didnt the southern wcml services use the 377/7s before? not sure how different the /7s are from the 387s
yes they did then they used 377/2s. before the 377/7s came southern were using 377/2s.
but the 387s have a max speed of 110mph
Someone on here said those ones are 100mph max, i believe, because of pantograph
The sticker inside the cab says 110mph.
Yes, but the c2c ones can only do 100 - different pantograph on them which caps them at 100mph max. The 3 that went to GWR had theirs changed to enable 110mph operation.
I’ve heard for use on the East Coastway and other Sussex locals, i.e. what the GX 387s did for Southern before Great Northern took them on.
GX 387s still work on the East Coastway and will continue to do so even after these 6 turn up
Learn something new every day - I guess nobody bothered to update the sticker or speedo as they only do up to up to 75 in their current home.
