Now that I regularly commute on South West Trains as well as on Southern to Kingston, I was wondering if any of the ex Southern Class 456's are booked to operate on any Shepperton or London Waterloo via Strawberry Hill services. I see that a few are stabled at Strawberry Hill depot, and an ECS operates with a 10 car 455/456 from Strawberry Hill to London Waterloo at around 17:00, but all of the trains I've been getting have been operated by 455's. So far, I've only had one 456 since they've left Southern, and that wasn't even on a service via Kingston (It was 456 018 on a Guildford to Waterloo service via Epsom)

Would anyone know if there is any train running via Kingston that is booked for a 456? I just miss travelling on them on the Caterham/Tattenham Corner line, and would love to travel on one again!

That ECS goes on to form the 9K51 1757 London Waterloo to London Waterloo (out via Wimbledon, return via Richmond) and the 9O59 1933 London Waterloo to London Waterloo (out via Richmond, return via Wimbledon).

There is another set that does the 9O96 1713 London Waterloo to London Waterloo (semi-fast to Twickenham via Richmond, then all stations via Wimbledon).

I do my best to avoid them as I find it hard to fold myself up enough to fit into the seats!
