    Trivia : Which TOCs have consistent train direction?

    This is correct that platform 3 from the east/main lines can only be 4 cars. I don’t think there is any booked east/west now, but there is a late night Vic-Worthing via platform 3 1715165535 Whilst this is theoretically true, I don’t think any 700 drivers now sign the depot so would be very...

    Does the East Grinstead Branch really need 8 carriage trains?

    Platform 5 is in constant use with London Bridge termination and Watford trains. There are Thameslink through 4&6 as well as the Cat/tat -London Bridge & the Uckfields.

    Great Northern Fleet - 379s

    The 377/5 and 377/6 can work with all other 377’s on southern but 377 cannot work in passenger service with 387/2 due to PIS issues so much better to class units that can work together

    Request stops

    erm - no they don't. there was no announcement about Bearley being a request stop at Claverdon, nor was there an announcement that you needed to indicate to the driver that the train needs to stop

    Request stops

    This is interesting, the public timetable on the WMT website makes no mention, there is no signage at Claverley to indicate it is a request stop and the station announcements there do not make it clear that you need to request the train to stop or that Bearley is a request stop. As a result of a...

    Great Northern Fleet - 379s

    I'm not sure where that was stated, but it certainly wont be that many. The last I saw internally was there are 20 diagrams that will be converted to 387/1 and a maximum of 17 377/1 to transfer to Southeastern

    Southern timetable changes consultation Coastway West

    From the start of the June TT (stage 0) only 2 diagrams are converted to 387’s, the rest are still 377’s. This will obviously increase as the cascade from GN progresses

    Southern timetable changes consultation Coastway West

    As I understand it, the first ones to be used on the BTN-SOU will be green ex-GWR 387's, although red ones may also be used if required

    Southern timetable changes consultation Coastway West

    Valid route advice: Watton-at-Stone to Burgess Hill via Stevenage

    This is a perfectly valid route according to the RDG permitted route calculator

    Future of Class 379

    Feel free to challenge that - all I am quoting is what GTR train planning and fleet planning have said is what is happening from June TT change.

    Future of Class 379

    The first batch (ex-GWR examples) are due to Lovers Walk for use on Brighton - Southampton services, then further phases will see them on more coastway work. When enough are available they are planned (always subject to change) for the Eastbourne-Vic.

    GWR fleet procurement

    that was the plan when GN were keeping the 387's, but the cascade of the 379's have changed those plans

    Future of Class 379

    I don't know for certain, but yes that is the suggestion

    GWR fleet procurement

    Southern are getting the 387's, but this is partly to replace the (up to) 17 x 377's that are due to move to Southeastern
