They've already been delivered and are in service. All 172 of SWT's Desiros are based at Northam.

Indeed, i still need to see a fair couple though. I can't seem to find 450 125 like Stephen.

No there not

Err Oh Yes they are.

450127 was delivered to Bomo depot via Poole run round on Jan 18, 2007. The Class 450 and 444's are all aloocated to Northam Traincare Depot.

450127 was the last of the 17 extra Class 450 Desiro's ordered.

In fact it wasnt 17 that came over it was 18 as 450101 (the one that had an earth fault somewhere in europe) was delivered after being repaired.

I still require 450035, 450124, 450127 all though all have been through Poole its on days that I have been working and not able to get them.

Cheers

They will remain based at Northam, same as the entire diesel fleet is based at Salisbury. Where they stable overnight and between duties is of course another matter. Remember Northam is a purpose-built depot especially for Desiros. Strawberry Hill isn't...

Yes I know but I read the 17 will be based Northam and Strawberry Hill because its home to 3 of them already and that strawberry Hill can carry out repairs ,

While some of the new trains will be looked after at Strawberry Hill depot, most will be kept in good working order at Northam Traincare Facility, a long goal kick from St Mary’s Stadium, home of Southampton FC. And “care” is the operative word here; no highly paid soccer star could be more closely attended than the trains that come under the wing of one of the Northam team.

Yes MOST at strawberry hill with MORE complex repairs in northam so its half and half with units and neally all for looking after repair
