Class 313 on southern test.

[Fincra5]

Hi, today on my way back from college, around 3.30, i saw a 313 going over the London Road viaduct. Still in ex-silverlink, with all the London Overground stuff removed.

Didnt manage to catch the number or anything, as i was on ground level

Probably on driver training duty then.

Probably on driver training duty then.

Could be, i was thinking it might be gauge testing. But i was told a while ago, that because the 442s are cleared for it the 313s are too.

313204 plus 313205 have left wolverton works in southern colours on route to brighton. EX 104/105::::

313 204 was sitting outside Willesden TMD earlier today.

 

[Daimler]

Yes, I saw it. Not sure how successful Southern colours are on a 313! Looked more like some kind of undercoat...

Have these been done up inside too? If so, do they still have the low-backed seating?

No, apparently these two are untouched inside

Oh really? Anyone got any pictures, i cant wait to see them!

Also, apparently, Southern are just deep cleaning some trains so they can get them working on Brighton-Seaford and Brighton-West Worthing, so they can free up the 377/3s. Without the 377s being refurbished for London Workings the 313s wont have any new seats .

Ive managed to get a little bit of video of one set on Willsden with 86701 sat next to it, will try and upload it this week.

 

[Fincra5]

i saw 2 today at brighton being move around, or, as they looked as if they were on mainline UP, on the way to wolverton.

 

[CROMPTON 33]

313102 is at wolverton works . this will be the next one in southern colours.

OoOo a glimpse of a 313 in southern colours. I'm going past there on saturday so i will look out for it/ them on the way

There was another "Southern" 313 sitting outside Willesden TMD, roughly in the same place as the one in the video last night. Too dark to see the number.

 

[Pumbaa]

God almighty the green looks hideous on the front with the yellow!

 

[HSTChris]

if anyones still planning to go and see them, then you get a much better view from the tracks of the Bakerloo line on the other side of the depot, me and a friend saw them on Saturday the 16th.

Has to be said i thought they would look similar to the 455s but they don't really.

 

[sonic2009]

the 313, is either at selhurst or brightoN?

 

[MCR247]

the 313, is either at selhurst or brightoN?

[sonic2009]

Doesn't look too bad really. Not sure about the green in the middle of the bad tho.

 

[Electrostar]

Why are the passenger doors light green rather than the darker green seen on class 455s? I don't like the central green cab door either. It seems the only livery to have truly suited these strange-looking units was the BR blue-grey they originally carried.

I was a bit confused about that too.
