Hi, I'm off to do a southern day save with friends tomorrow. Does anyone know where the 313s that are off to scrap are stored in lovers walk? Thanks!

Yes I know, my wording could be better. However, I'm looking more at 202, 214 and 217 who are no longer in service and are awaiting their fate.

Quick question: when did 313's regularly cease going to Eastbourne and Hastings/Ore? Believe these were just peak hour workings. I have 2014 in mind but that doesn't seem right.

TIA

I think it was the big (infamous) May 2018 timetable change - certainly the 1721 Eastbourne service was cut back to Lewes at that time.

Yesterday Southern conductors received a letter from the Head of On-Board confirming the withdrawal of Class 313 trains, effective from the May 2023 timetable change.

Can we stick to the thread title please :)

To discuss any other matter, such as Electrostars, please create a new thread, in the appropriate forum section, if there isn't one already.

Any posts of a speculative nature belong in the Speculative Discussion section; some posts have been moved to the following thread:

Which trains could replace GTR's class 313s?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/southern-class-313-twilight-withdrawal-updates.231486 Well. I read something that the 313s are going to be replaced by Electrostars but it was mentioned as unspecified. I wonder which Electrostars will be replacing the 313s?

Today the 1S14 Portsmouth to Brighton, 313215, had door fault in the 3rd carriage and therefore the carriage was out of order. That leaves just 2 carriages on a busy route. It was packed!
