Class 458/5

[Juniper Driver]

The 455s are not allowed to run sandwiched with 456s unless required due to both cabs of the 455 requiring burying due to faults and permission via the wicc/fleet.

Ah cheers...only seen that during terstruns.

Buh? When the project is finished, all that will be left of the 460s will be four driving vehicles, with no passenger doors, no passenger windows and no motors (the vehicles in question have never had motors, the windows and doors are being fitted to the other four identical luggage vans). They're good for little other than parts & scrap

Hang on, surely we can think up a problem that they can be the solution to?!

Just strip em, and get the gas axes out.

 

[Juniper Driver]

It's unfair...Southern get units that are virtually compatible with each other and we get a mish mash.:-x

These vehicles are classed as DMLFO guess what the M stands for!

Really? 442, 313, 377 are all none compatible. Seems to me not that different from SWT.

Good point....I put my foot in it yet again although I don't know a lot about the 377's and I haven't seen any 313's on my travels.I plead insanity.

Any signs of any more movements north or south? All seems to have quiet in the past week or two.

Yes, I did miss that post, but I don't understand why you feel the need to have such an attitude.

My humble apologies squire/ma'am. Clearly a small amount of jest and humour is lost on most in these forums.

Pretty sure there was a unit hidden in Wimbledon yard with a barrier wagon (or two) and a 47.Couldn't see from the tracks as a 455 was in the way.I take it that was 458530?

I'm not going to bite. Matter closed.:roll:

That yellow looks a bit faint unless it's down to the ambient lighting. How many sets are left to be done?

 

[swt_passenger]

There are 22 units yet to be started if nothing has changed since the summary on the previous page.

503 isn't in testing and I think it's been hidden in Clapham for a little while.Im sure it was there weeks ago but I couldn't get close enough to get the number.

I took 'yet to be done' in the question to refer to the conversion at Doncaster. What happens when get back to Wimbledon is another puzzle altogether...

I would think Wimbledon would be "tweaking" them and making sure they fully work properly before letting them out into traffic.

Can anyone ID the fifth car in 458530 please?

Oh yeah I saw the 47 with barrier wagons in Wimbledon Yard waiting for another unsuspecting 458/0.
