RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 30, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) A few 313s along the Coastway west last Monday - 25th July. My turn to find 313201, this time at Chichester on an eastbound Brighton service. A little further east 313214 arrives at Barnham with a Bognor service.

The last time I checked Barnham was east of Chichester 😉 Edited July 31, 2022 by DY444 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted August 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Night Shift... The 05:08 empties from Bognor Regis to Barnham which, after a lot of scratching of heads, phone calls and a 4 am taxi ride later, was found to be actually parked in Littlehampton instead... Had a bit of fun with the display too... 😆 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by any means a “given” as things are. Far too many cancellations - often of late evening services - due to the ongoing crew shortage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted August 7, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2022 A couple of shots of class 377s crossing the Arun river bridge just south of Pulborough earlier today. An unidentified example heads a Bognor service away from its station stop. 377111 (identified by its unique livery modification) leads two class mates on a northbound service. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SWR 701's at the top of the stock cascade tree are the sticking point still although I did see a photo of one actually moving under its own power yesterday...

They manage that most days. Still only on test trips though. 701049 is the latest to appear at Waterloo meaning only 11 more of the 10-car units are outstanding (and 701050 is reported to have arrived at Eastleigh) with most of the 5-car ones yet to be built. No official word on possible entry into service at SWR but "middle to late next year" is possible if they can be made to work reliably. Southern should be able to spare most of the 377/3s if they thought about it. Reduce the 10-car formations around suburbia to 7-car and almost every trip will still have two or three seats per passenger - often even more. The 5-car units don't normally work with anything else but a subtle change from 10-car to 9-car trains (5+4) would free up a few more units and an internal cascade then releases the rest of the 377/3s to the coast. Such things seem to be too hard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2022 At the moment, the Metro area is busy reforming the 171's to three car formation with three units to revert to Class 170 and be disposed of. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
