I hope this is the correct place for this question.
Several 456s are out of action at the moment and I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on them?
456009 showing as waiting maintenance since 02/06
456018 showing as waiting maintenance since 13/11
456023 showing as in transfer status since 23/07.
Seems to be a long time for all of these units to be out of action? Have they been unofficially withdrawn or are they being fixed?

Also I am aware that 455845 is currently out of action due to fire damage received in February? Same question has this been unofficially withdrawn or is it being fixed?
I suspect there may be many others but I have no info on the above.

Many thanks for any help.

Don't that information is correct on the 456s. I last came across them working as follows;
456009-3rd March.
456018-3rd April
456023-13th March

Ah ok. I only have the information which is shown on the big box. Am off to London maybe this week so I may have to get the deck chair out at CLJ or maybe pop down to Ascot to view.

Have had a look today at the magic box and noticed that despite the fact that the trains mentioned are shown as stopped, 456009 & 456023 are actually diagrammed to work today. However 456018 is not shown as being out at all.
Also looks like 455845 has been out on test today so fingers crossed that it will be back out and about soon.

Its either a terminal that has access to Genius/Gemini or whatever they call it these days or access to TOPS.

What happened to 455845????
456018 was sounding rather loud the last time I had it. The last time I saw it was last month
