How long have I got?
I have to confess it looks likely my first 442 trip will be with TPE on the WCML/London Midland additional stock for TV stopper/Football specials/insert whatever stupid suggestion!
A pair of 442s will continue to operate 1F82 Eastbourne-London Bridge and 1F83 London Bridge-Eastbourne until 2018. In addition, some weekend Brighton-Victoria (and vice versa) express services will continue to use 442s, although I'm not sure if this will be a common sight.
Your best bet is the aforementioned Eastbourne commuter services.
If anyone is looking to take some last photographs, you'll find a pair of 442s in Eastbourne Sidings every weekend.
I wonder what unit will be diagrammed for the summer specials between Eastbourne and Victoria (and vice versa) when the 442s have all gone. As it's non-stopping, these units are perfect for it! Also, what will Hove Yard be used for?
