Where do you travel and how often? I see RPis about twice a month, more often in the morning than evening.
Those 700’s are going to need alll their standing room going to Brighton today, judging the packed train I’ve just seen at Blackfriars.
Didn't ThamesLink run to London Victoria over Christmas last year?Has a Class 700 ventured through Clapham Junction before? If so, how often?
Fairly regularly as one of the diversionary routes is via Clapham then SLL and Cambria JnHas a Class 700 ventured through Clapham Junction before? If so, how often?

I've heard rumours that the declassification of the rear 1st Class section will soon be coming to an end come the new timetable change, anyone else heard this before?
Nope, it’s staying,were you heard?I've heard rumours that the declassification of the rear 1st Class section will soon be coming to an end come the new timetable change, anyone else heard this before?
An in-Training ThamesLink OBS. Im not sure if they just got a few things mixed upNope, it’s staying,were you heard?

Why would GTR declassify the rear 1st Class compartment when the trains were introduced to GN route last November only to remove it the following May. Doesn't make sense.
Cant say I've heard anything internally to suggest this. Whilst it wouldn't overly surprise me I doubt it will change just yet.I've heard rumours that the declassification of the rear 1st Class section will soon be coming to an end come the new timetable change, anyone else heard this before?
I would imagine there is - note in the final timetable there will be 8tph from the BML, as well as the Ashford services and a few more. I'm assuming these haven't been added yet because the stock for those haven't been delivered yet, which would mean there's enough for all the others.Wow, just looked at the new timetable, these units are definitely being forced into the core a bit harder now! Seven an hour now just from the BML. Then you've got your four Suttons, two Orpingtons, and a Rainham. Is stock availability keeping up ok so far?
Given that the class700s are on contract for a given availability, I doubt that the new timetable would assume a greater availability than the contract delivers.I really don't think stock allocation is an issue at the moment given the chaos the new timetable has brought with staff training issues. There are seemingly many more trains around than there are drivers to operate them.
Kool.Just watched 700060 on delivery run to Ferme Park at Bromley South.
When was 059 delivered?Sitting in one of the reception roads at Ferme Park is 66783 & recently delivered 700059.
Nope,3 or 4 to go i think.All now delivered I believe?
When was 059 delivered?
Nope,3 or 4 to go i think.
Oh koolAIUI, 059 was either delivered to Dollands Moor last night or was delivered to one of the depots last night. I think the former is more likely.
Nope, 059 is the last.
