The current carriage working notices, which reflect all 14 diagrams being introduced, are effective until 18 July. So with 8 diagrams from next week that leaves another 6 to be introduced by then.
Thanks. Very interesting. That is basically one new diagram per week on average between next Monday and 18 July.
Would seem that the next few weeks will be a measure of whether things are going as planned.
Sounds promising - 1D12 probably needs a 701 as it was just solitary 455848 this morning......

Interesting to see the 701s and the timetable cast mentioned, which relies on the former.
Yes, this has been previously mentioned in Modern Railways. The recast is due next year, presumably December. Surely sufficient 701s will be in service by then. I'd have thought it would be extremely unlikely that anywhere near the whole fleet will be needed for the recast timetable, which presumably could still manage with a handful of 455s hanging around in the short term.
That reflects eight weeks. When issuing permanent amendments (PA's), which this example effectively is, being dated as such, this is the agreed format as has been the case for more years than I remember. It is based around long established 'legalities' involving train crew establishment/rostering.
Thanks. Interesting insight.
If you go on the SWR website via this link, the diagrams have been posted. You can scroll down to the Hampton Court section and see. One or two are still 455/450s as they are slowly being transferred over to 701 running.

Yes, it was Sir Michael Holden who stated that, while only just holding back his exasperation at the slow pace of introduction.
Looks like one of these is in due an update to add 701035 to your may post.
They did during mileage accumulation runs and trips to Bournemouth Depot but won't form normal passenger services that far down. Never say never though as a 707 did manage to get to Southampton in service one day.
The first post in the new thread referred to has been kept updated.
There are no plans, but as there are now more than are now needed post Covid, some of them may be repurposed.
Thanks
That was due to the fact that no other units were able to be swapped to fill in for that service, and it required trains that went above 75mph. Unless that happens again, it's unlikely, but 458/4s could potentially fill in since they are capable of reaching 100mph.
Which they won't be, that plan was curtailed many moons ago.
strange，seems wasn't like this previous sundays
Looks like 701031 is assigned on this one.
Yep, the unit is back after a short period out for inspection, it was involved in a fatality around a level crossing.
But neither 2U07, 2H90 nor 2J92 were 701s this morning
