Trip away- Few questions

[NSE]

Good evening. Been staying with some mates in London and on my travels I saw a few things that I thought needed answering.

Firstly, on Monday (18th July) I was at Stratford, just arriving on the DLR when a 357 shot through on the fast line (about 2ish maybe) what was it doing?

Secondly, my mates live in the Croydon area, so was regularly traversing Victoria to Purley etc, and saw a 460 go past a couple of times. There was a few hours between sightings so could easily have been the same unit. I thought that these had all gone?

Thirdly, I saw a 313 this morning at Selhurst depot. What do they do there? Anything interesting or just standard maintainence?

Thanks for any help you can offer

The 460s are still used on some GXs - I was on one last week.

Oh cheers mate, the impression I was under was that they'd all gone to Stewarts Lane.

357 will be on c2c route learner trips, been going into Platform 11 since the timetable change aswell for a bit of variety.

313's 201-220 are allocated to Southern based at Brighton, so it might be at Selhurst for a check or exam.

As already said, the 357 was prob on a route learner, as I'm not sure but there used to be or still is one or two runs a day that go into Liverpool Street. Liverpool Street is also used at weekends when Fenchurch Street area is closed for engineering works, hence why drivers have to have route knowledge into Liverpool Street.

Ahh I suspected the 313 would be for that. Yeah I just thought the timings for the 357 were odd, cause middle of the day and such. Cheers.
