I'm thinking of a train class..

[Nym]

You're right, it's not a class 390... Last I checked they have very similar interiors

 

[sonic2009]

Class 379?

Nope...

 

[hmp455]

London Underground S Stock?

 

[Nym]

Yep, S8 and S7, with S7 having a rather different interior.

 

[hmp455]

I am an EMU

I have five subclasses, and I am a close releative of another class which is bigger, and some of the units initally classed as this class, are in that class.

We operate for one TOC.

We have had a modification making us virtually the same as the similar class.

Should be easy.

Class 377, or whatever Electrostar Southern are using....

Class 377, or whatever Electrostar Southern are using....

I think you've got it the wrong way round. The 377 is the reference; the 375 is the answer. O/F if correct.

 

[CC 72100]

Right, if no-ones took it after 3 days, I'll give it a go with something that probably won't take to long...

1) I am a DMU
2) I operate for 4 TOCS.
3) I'm part of a family of units, all concieved and entering service at the same time

153 ?

 

[CC 72100]

Nope - 153 operates for 6 TOCs.

 

[221129]

158 ?

 

[Ivo]

150...?

LM still have a couple don't they?

 

[CC 72100]

As far as I know, LM do still have a couple (150s) , although you're both wrong.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Hmmm... the 170s operate for four TOCs don't they...? ( Not counting the 171s and the resulting 5th TOC as they are classed separately ).


Floor open if it's them.

 

[CC 72100]

No, 170s operate for 5 TOCs - Greater Anglia, XC, Scotrail, First TPE and London Midland.

I'll give you another clue...

4) I am pre-privatisation

 

[Ivo]

Has anyone said 156 yet?

156?

 

[CC 72100]

Yes, Ivo, you're right - good bit of deduction there

 

[Ivo]

This ageing stock is among the usual culprits of "Hot Train Syndrome". (No prizes for why I said that - it's hot outside! ) It is due to be replaced within the next three years, and runs on a line whose stock is already subject to replacement. At least one of this class has been destroyed in the last ten years.

 

[CC 72100]

Hmmm, bit of a guess here, but it wouldn't happen to be the class 313s would it? (Although my knowledge of FCC land isn't too great)

 

[Ivo]

It isn't.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Class 165/1?

 

[Ivo]

Not the 165 - and not a subclass-related designation either.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

365 then?

 

[Ivo]

The only parts of that answer which are correct are that (a) the class in question does serve London and (b) it is an EMU.

 

[sonic2009]

Class 319

[Peter Mugridge]

I'm stumped then; the only other London serving EMU class which I can think of has had one destroyed in the last 10 years is the 390, but that doesn't fit the stock replacement clue!

 

[Ivo]

Massive hint:

No-one said this was an NR class

 

[sonic2009]

C stock - if i have incorrectly given i will explain, its the stock that runs along the same section as the metropolitan which is getting S stock.

No need to explain. The C stock is correct.
