I do, but not one that can be linked to. Due to the 458 programme continuing SWR have asked Porterbrook to assist with cab modifications (whatever they might be) to get six 458/4s into service for the end of April. 458/5s are continuing to go to Widnes every 2 weeks for modification with...

Definitely a deep clean. 458521 had a deep clean before it went to Widnes. I think an upgrade to TPWS mark 4 is included too, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

Nothing guaranteed but six units to enter service at the end of April after cab modifications (whatever they might be).

458521 is the next unit to go to Widnes for conversion. Due to move from Wimbledon to Bournemouth on Friday 8th March and then move to Widnes on Tuesday 12th March.

I think it is 458424 coming back. The next move to Widnes should be 458522 moving from Bournemouth depot on Tuesday 27th Feb. This means it is likely to stop at Wimbledon Wednesday 21st or Thursday 22nd as it planed to move from Wimbledon to Bournemouth on Friday 23rd Feb.

458515 should be the next unit to head North. Planned to leave Bournemouth Tuesday 13th Feb (unless plans change).

The tenth unit to head off to Widnes for conversion should be 458520 and is planned to leave on 23rd January.

458504 is the next unit to go to Widnes. It is currently in the shed at Bournemouth being prepared to go.

It is indeed out of the first class area of a 458/5. The seats were taken out at Bournemouth depot prior to the unit(s) being sent to Widnes.

If a freight train has failed and is blocking several passenger trains from reaching their destinations then getting that freight train moving and out of the way is a priority.

The interiors are in excellent condition as the 379s are receiving maintenance while they are in store. Every 14 days each unit is moved to the exam siding at Worksop and given an exam where the auxiliary electrical system is powered up and various checks are carried out. There are also reports...
