c2c Class 357 Gauging Issue

[alholmes]

Does anyone know any more about this. Seems as though c2c temporarily cannot run into Liverpool Street "Due to a temporary loading gauge restriction on our Class 357/3 trains".

There were a few posts about it here:

... but no detail about the explicit reason. You'll see I pointed out that the SWT 458/5 conversions had to be cleared again due to passenger capacity changes, in fact I've since heard that the 456s had to be re-certified as well.
