    I was talking to Andy, who works for Southern, earlier and he informed me that progress is very slow for the 313 modifications as it appears that each unit is wired up differently to the other, meaning almost non of the units match the diagrams :D I wouldn't be suprised :)

Southern have a few Class 460s with the large baggage section at one end, why...
