Southern Class 455's

[Lesterhoss]

I am down to one Southern class 455841 and having tried Real Time Trains many times to find out if/what service it is working it always come up as no service allocated. Seeing the response on here to queries regarding the SWT 455's I was wondering if anyone has any information relating to this unit. Many thanks.

I think you would get more joy in this thread which is best for specific queries:

I didn’t think RTT included allocations for SN yet?

 

[Class 466]

RTT doesn’t have Southern allocations

Out of service at Stewarts Lane today

Hi Benno, thanks for this info. Is the unit outside and visible from a train as I am on a Special on Saturday due to pass by Stewarts Lane.

Apologies did not realise there a specific forum for such requests.

I was going to ask the exact same question in the morning (Weds) as I'm off to London for the day bashing and it is also my very last SN 455 (plus 5847 at SWR which hasn't worked since pre covid).
As a desperate last resort, politely tweeting Southern can sometimes work but usually only on a "current / next working" basis (they aren't used to polite tweets !!)

It's on HS2 speed trials coupled to two Deltic GTi s.

If you want 5847 for sight, no problem. For haulage, I would not try not to get your hopes up.
