Can someone tell me when 2424 is running from Clapham.
All the 442s have been retired apart from a few on GatEx I think.

Are you on about the test run that 2424 did down the Brighton mainline as far as Three Bridges? If so it's already happened. Video below.

Nice to see a 442 back on the Brighton main.
I'm sure that loco is owned by a member of Southern staff - could be wrong there.

All old style Southern Region horns sound like squeaky farts!
You should hear 1393 on the GCR - it's got a bit of water in it so it sounds even more flatulant!

Will none of the 442's be running under their own third rail power anymore then?

i think they will go under thier own power. The 73 was probably used incase it broke down and had to move it quickly.

The 442 horn reminds me of a Class 47's horn.
