That service was delayed at Balham most likely due to the special shunting away. Why they didn't send the special down the mainline via Redhill or straight ahead via Sutton is odd.

Just looked in the relevant publication Engineering works between Sutton and Wimbledon all weekend. Engineering works between Blackfriars and Herne hill all weekend.

Air Explore aircraft with Jet2 logos. Inside will be Jet2 seats and cabin crew, Flight crew will be Air Explore.

Quick point Thameslink does not have any restrictions on the number of loops on a drivers shift. St Albans and cricklewood have done four trips in a shift, and Luton and Bedford have done triple trips. The issue would be limited stabling facilities south of the river. Also if the line south of...

Could have taken a faulty/ dead unit to Lovers walk. It was seen as an 8 car going south and a 4 car coming back. A few /5's sit spare on selhurst when not on exams.

I'd have thought the only people to be able to give such permission is the TOC them selves. I'd have thought, you'd have to go through customer service (with the medical letter), for them to issue a company headed letter or pass giving permission.

But they are main line certified for the moves from Cauldwell depot to Bedford. In the last few years it's been a stepping stone to main line driving.

If that could be the case, I could see them going to Kent House/ Beckenham Junction to turn around at the south end. Just like Thameslink did upto 2017/8 iirc.

Only Thameslink drivers who sign via Lewes are Brighton drivers.

On the last point about traveling by car, If you use Google maps and have the location history turned on. It will show dates and times and mode of transport used. So could hopefully be used to disprove train travel.

Thank you both.

I believe a few power cars are ETCS fitted. Any ideas on identities and current locations of these, and are they operational currently.

I was wondering what service group they would use the 387's on that are self contained, as to not cause unit incompatibility & Crewing issues. East Croydon to Watford junction London Victoria to East grinstead A 387 made it to Portsmouth on a test run the other day, maybe Brighton to...

Looks about the same, also you can see the snapped signalling wires in the second picture. Could the debris / missing ballast etc have gone in the golf course direction. Incase it was undermined on the flooded side. One of the drone pictures shows murky water (showing moving water) in the...

They have the units, just reliability is dire. They can barely manage the 12 out of 21 units needed most days.

Confirmed as the location I posted by the golf course.

Looking on Google maps, Is the location between Grange golf course and the station, next to Meathop road. Looks right to me. Can also see the tubing going to a pond/hole.

If I remember rightly from the previous postings, was it the compressor?

Pie eye in the sky Could an internal reshuffle happen I.e 379's to replace 387's. 387's to replace 700/1 on Brighton to Cambridge or Horsham to Peterborough. Or another GN to SE destination. Released 700/1 to replace any long distance 700/0 runs. 700/0 onto more local commuter routes ex kings...

When we learnt the 387/1's on the Thameslink route, it was a one day course. From a drivers point of view it was just subtle differences from the 377's we already drove nothing major was introduced. Can see the same with the 379's. Theoretically the 377/6/7, 387/1/2/3, and 379 is the same basic...
