Class 365 scrap movements + preservation discussion

[Galvanize]

Do you still have a list of all the individual announcements? There are some available from this webpage - Class 365 Announcement Pack v1.0 – Alan Thomson Simulation
You do need an account to download them though.

I’ll PM you.

 

[D365]

I’ll PM you.

I’m interested in the list too please.

 

[Radley]

I’ll PM you.

Me as well, please.

Many thanks!

Used to like how the announcements on the 365s would say something like:
This train is for Kings Lynn......via Cambridge.

Like there is another way to get there!

Love the 365s, have done many a trip on them from Ely and Huntingdon to London and they are great units.
Really hope they can find further work.

I imagine this was less likely to have been to tell King’s Lynn passengers the route the train was taking to King’s Lynn, and more to reassure passengers who wanted to get to Cambridge (and didn’t have a clue where the small town of King’s Lynn was - who could blame them) that the train was going there too!

Staying on the topic of the original PIS, I thought I would share a clip of the original WAGN welcome aboard message, which I recorded just before the system was replaced. I think I might have shared this before, but some people may not have heard it.

I think the 'bLondon' bit was actually 'dLondon King's Cross' with the standalone station name being cut from the 'and London King's Cross' bit.

I think the 'bLondon' bit was actually 'dLondon King's Cross' with the standalone station name being cut from the 'and London King's Cross' bit.

That would probably make sense, considering the rest of the station names that are used in 'The Next Station is' announcements came from the welcome message.

Classic! Was this another piece of Celia Drummond's work?

No, it was Julie Berry.

Very evocative. Anyone got any more recordings?

I remember having that exact announcement in 2016!

I just found this in my bookmarks:-

It’s the announcement for Cambridge to Kings Cross. I remember it was posted on the forum, but I can’t remember who it was. It’s much clearer than my recording.

I also remember a website which had the announcement from Cambridge to Kings Lynn, allthough I haven’t been able to find that site - perhaps someone can remember what it is called. It had all sorts of PIS recordings from quite a few different trains.

The original PIS also lasted for 20-odd years. Quite remarkable really. The announcements were short, concise and informative, just what's needed. Some of the 'extra' announcements were a bit patronising like the one advising passengers how to operate the doors, advising that there is a payphone on the train available for public use etc.

I think one went something like this..
“This is a special announcement to assist passengers when boarding and alighting from the train”. (Then it proceeded to tell you how the open the doors)

One of the GN drivers used to play that one fairly regularly.

365502 & 504 moved from Hornsey EMUD to Hertford North Carriage sidings yesterday afternoon as 5B63, the units are stabled on 1 road.

365502 & 504 moved from Hornsey EMUD to Hertford North Carriage sidings yesterday afternoon as 5B63, the units are stabled on 1 road.

I remember when they left some off lease 313s down there. Totally covered by the local graffiti gang. In other news, the security staff were recently removed from Hertford sidings!

Thanks. I passed this at speed on my way into Kings Cross and thought i was seeing things as i was not expecting to see a 365.

 

[Class315]

Another 365 has moved as 5B65 16+28 Hornsey EMUD to Hertford North Carriage sidings yesterday afternoon, 365510 did the honours & is stabled on 4 road at Hertford Carriage Sidings.

It looks like 365525 which is currently at Longsight, has now had ETCS fitted - there is a sticker on the right hand buffer relating to it.

A Not-So 'Happy' Class 365, 365525

I had arrived at Longsight depot with a defective Mk.5 set, which had travelled ECS from York. Depositing it at the South end of the depot, I had to walk past the ETD shed, which had a door open. Located inside the shed for some time, and with an uncertain future, has been former Great Northern...

Is the left hand sticker “RHM” indicating a similar mod to that on the GWR 165/166s for gauge clearance purposes? I guess if this is to be another ETCS test unit it might roam further than it’s normal area…

 

[365 Networker]

It's here somewhere for sure though. I'll certainly scan and post it if/when it materialises.

Did you have any luck finding the leaflet?
