455844 is currently at Wolverton, presumably for door mods considering it went there last year but came back with it's original door buttons

What's the current status
As far as I'm aware, I'm not too sure if any more units have been sent to Wolverton. Perhaps someone could advise? 455 827 still needs to go to Wolverton as it's completely unmodified

455842 and 455843 are still not PRM compliant. Surely these have to be modified within the next two months otherwise they won’t be able to continue in service in the new year?
Any update on 455803, 455827 and 455840?

Any update on 455803, 455827 and 455840?
455842 reported to be at Wolverton. Funny that as I had that unit on Wednesday night after travelling down the WCML and was wondering while I was on it when it would eventually go to Wolverton!
Another unit was brought back last night too

Any idea on whether 455842 and 455844 have returned from Wolverton yet?

5842 currently working 1505 Sutton to Victoria (23-11).
.
5844 moved from Wolverton to Stewarts Lane 22-11.
.
5843 is showing at Stewarts Lane, not worked since 07-11 so possibly at Wolverton?.

5843 hadn’t been modified yet so that may well be at Wolverton. Wonder if 5803 and 5827 have been yet?

455803 has finally been modified and is now PRM compliant.
Any idea about 455827 and 840?

455827 now PRM compliant, saw it at London Bridge this afternoon. Not sure about 5840 but I’m guessing this has been done too. This means the whole class has finally been completed and is PRM compliant!

Seems as though there is a 455 drag to and from Wolverton taking place tomorrow with a loco being sent down from Leicester LIP, departing Wolverton at 10:29 and the return departing Stewarts Lane at 13:57

5Q88 10:29 Wolverton to Stewarts Lane should be (when it eventually leaves!) 57312 dragging 455812 (thanks to @3973EXL for the info!)

455806 is now at Wolverton. Any idea why the 455’s are still visiting Wolverton?
