Stock with plug sockets

[ValleyLines142]

Apologies if this has already been covered; I did a search and 494 threads came up, none of which were relevant!

I just wondered what stock had plug sockets for public use? I know of the following:

HSTs
220
221
222
185
158 (Arriva anyway)
180 (I think)
175s used to in Coach B, but don't anymore
390
All East Coast Trains
380
395

I really think FGW 158s on the Cardiff to Portsmouth route could do with them! (and a few extra carriages whilst we're there, but I won't go on to that now :P)

Add 168s and Chiltern LHCS and also 379s to that list.

 

[Eagle]

SWT 159s, in first class only.

 

[Lrd]

Class 444 at the tables in the end standard coach and in first class.
Class 450 (and at a guess 350s) in first class. (And presumably the ex-first class section on HC 450s)

350s definitely, not sure about HC 450s though! Pretty sure the seating layout was changed so sockets may have been removed... hmm...

They still got reading lights though, so they may have kept the sockets, saves a big rewire.

EDIT:

According to this website they are still in.

The original first class under luggage-rack lighting and lap top/telephone power points have been retained, while the first class curtains have been removed.

Fair enough - I never noticed the reading lights were still in there!

I had to check the wiki page

HC 450s definitely had plug sockets remaining this afternoon...

 

[ValleyLines142]

I didn't know about the HC 450s. I didn't notice any on 450569 a few weeks ago!!

 

[jopsuk]

379s in both classes- plus wifi (currently free throughout!)

TPE 170s have sockets at table seats

[WR Blue]

FSR 170's do in first class, FSR 380's have them throughout.

 

[dk1]

GA 170s have them in 1st class but only on 2-car units 270-3.

The HC 450s were modified on the basis that they could be easily returned to normal as built condition, and as it turns out they are going to be once the 458/5 are all in service.

 

[MCR247]

HSTs

EMTs only have them in first

 

[Jatos]

CrossCountry HSTS have them throughout though!

They're only in the former first class section however so you just mustn't have been in that bit.

 

[transmanche]

185

Are they available throughout? Or just in first class and table seats in standard?

 

[MCR247]

First and table seats in standard

Only at tables and all of first class. They're on a side angle too which is bizzare.

As do FGW, under the seats and on the tables.

What's the variable voltage socket for in the luggage rack on the HSTs?

Cleaners?

 

[D2022]

Cleaners?

I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure.

 

[thelem]

IIRC older 377s have them in first class, and 377/5s have them at all tables

No, I was in the Quiet Carriage, which wasn't very quiet as it was after a Lady Gaga concert!!

175s used to in Coach B, but don't anymore

I don't think the 175s have ever had power sockets available to the public. There are headphone sockets integrated into the armrests of some seats in Coach B, but they haven't been functional for years.

 

[Blindtraveler]

table seats in the Inverness based refurbed 158s first class section

I could have sworn they had plug sockets. I only saw them once, and that was looking through the window on the platform. May be wrong though. I think they could do with plugs, especially considering Carmarthen to Manchester is close to 5 hours journey time and passes through big towns and cities such as Swansea, Cardiff, Hereford, Shrewsbury and Crewe.
