it managed to move?

amazing...

at the risk of heading back towards the orignal topic, where are the 5 car 450s and 444s going to be going. and for that matter, the 4 car 450s?

just a matter of interest, really...

maybe he can dig up a pic of a REP... at southampton.

that would be almost unheard of...

i see it every day, and wonder why it never goes anywhere... i just don't understand what can possibly be so awful... but then, i don't really know anything about modern electric traction (other than stuff about I-V characteristics) i'm not blaming SWT for the trains being .. someone decided they we...

well, the answer to your question is yes.

the issue is "is it wise to do so", and the generally accepted view on that is that no, it probably isn't

next thing we'll see is a steam engine in a scrap yard...

they had to change the firing order of the cylinders on the 47s soon after introduction, but they were't derated for quite some time after that.

let's not forget that the first diesel hauled royal train had a 31 on the front. and it failed. (which is embarrasing, really, high profile job, and all)

i don't know what you're talking about... this is THE EDGE man!

they can't be that bad... can they? and if they are, firstly, who allowed them to be built so shoddily and who bought them in the first place?

and where's wilkies?

well, it's not like gatwick express need more trains, they're an empty stock operator!

i'm sure these things can be ironed out, though

don't laugh, it's probably true...

i heard they were up to 11k between failures now. which is still pants. better than 2k though!

that would seem the obvious answer! but why it's on the through roads i don't know (i though every domestic train through there stopped at ashford, but i guess i was wrong....)

that should be interesting then! see just how many subs it'll cook...

what happened to the 12 car 458, by the way? went and set up loads of testing equipment on the subs and then it never ran...

it's nothing to do with me but that is ashford international. the OHLE is for the interntaional platforms, giving NR Southern Zone just about every type of electrification imaginable! (OH DC? not yet...)

as for why an SWT train was there, well...

in addition, if you want me to get to waterloo... hahahahahahaha! i'm starting at weymouth for a reason!

i'd be starting at exeter if i though that line had better activites potential...
