I saw 0O01 this afternoon with 66717 taking a 69 in undercoat to Eastleigh. Does anyone know the identity of the 69? Thank You https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H34005/2024-05-10/detailed

This would seem to imply 20 of the 458/4 to receive cab mods and eventually be used in service at some point in the future, and the other 8 to be stored at Eastleigh indefinitely. But perhaps I am drawing the wrong conclusion?

So I did jump to the wrong conclusion and 458534 has come back out this evening; https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:Y04237/2024-05-02/detailed

I think it will be 17 once 458534 drops out. It finished at Farnham on Friday night, so it should still be in use tomorrow. Currently I think the 458 fleet status is 458/5 In service (18) 458502,503,506,509-512,514,518,519,526 458529-532,534-536 458/5 Long-term out of service (1) 458533...

I do not know whether this is still the case, but in mid March it looked like the intention was to start using 458/4, presumably from next week?

A new path is now showing on RTT for tomorrow 5H70 1030 St Philips Mrsh H S T D to Wolverton Centre Sidings https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:67212/2024-04-23/detailed

Thank you for that interesting information. I had not thought to check to see if there was a reverse swap a few hours later because last year these swaps usually lasted for a week or so. My mistake!

It has been a while since the last swap of turbos between Reading and Bristol, but it looks like a swap is planned today; 165113 5O91 1229 Reading Traincare Depot to Swindon 2O91 1342 Swindon to Weymouth 166220 2V79 1058 Weymouth to Swindon 5R79 1332 Swindon to Reading Traincare Depot

It looks like yesterday was the final day in passenger service as a 458/5 for 458513, so I *think* the current status of the 458 fleet is now; 458/5 In passenger service (18) 458502,503,506,509-512,518,519,526,527 458529-532,534-536 458/5 Long-term out of service (1) 458533 28.01.22 458/5...

458428 was delivered to SWR 07.11.23 and I believe is now stored at Eastleigh 458420 was delivered to SWR 27.02.24 458521/421 is the only one at Widnes tonight

5Z50 is shown en-route and 150216 is on 2C04 to Penzance. I guess that means 150207 is returning to Wolverton?

Indeed. This mornings peak is the first that SWR have had 70 455s in passenger use from the fleet of 80(+2). SWR must be about hitting the buffer stops of how many 458 diagrams can be absorbed by the 40 year old 455s.

If journeycheck is to be believed then that arrangement could be for today only with a pair of 455s vice a pair of 458s 05:50 London Waterloo to Reading due 07:11 07:39 Reading to London Waterloo due 09:07 09:20 London Waterloo to Reading due 10:43 11:09 Reading to London Waterloo due 12:35...
