Class 707 - SWT: Introduction into service

MBR being?

Manual Boarding Ramps I believe.

You are correct.

AWS failure. Bell instead of horn.

Didn't a WSF of the AWS happen a couple of weeks back? Was it the same unit?

 

[spark001uk]

On the SWR status update page there seems to be a rogue "no issues" which doesn't go against a service group (on 707006)

Like this you mean? Also noted the one above it (Surbiton Cobham) is written in blue for some reason.

I like that blank white one which still has good service next to it!

Yes Sam that was the one we were referring to! But not as good as the below pic from the other day aboard 707007!

Indeed. Unsure if same unit though.

No, pretty sure 006 was the culprit last time, and this time it looks like it was 005 taken out of service.

Indeed so.

Seeing as they're alphabetical, I'd assume that to be 'West of England'.

707008+707009 working the Windsor diagram today. Have these two been out in service before today?

Not that I know of. Odd, as they were getting acceptance in pairs I thought, 003+005 first, then 004+006, then there's been 007, 008, 009, which is an odd quantity. Unless 010 has been accepted as well?

 

[Driver@swt]

003 to 010 have been accepted.

 

[SpacePhoenix]

003 to 010 have been accepted.

By "accepted" is that available for immediate use in passenger service?

 

[TEW]

Seen pictures of 700010 in service today, so that means all of 003-010 have been in service now.

008/9 had door problems at Richmond then emergency stopped just before Staines. Engineering type with a spanner and a swt polo seemed to have fixed it.

If Desiros ever loose the door interlock, does the unit automatically do an emergency stop or is it down to the driver?

Yep, it goes to full emergency. The results are quite impressive too from 100!

Was certainly a remarkably fast stop

Next pair of 707s due this weekend from Germany.

 

[WWTownEnth]

Is there a delivery of 013 and 014 due to Clapham Yard this weekend or next?

 

[Driver@swt]

028 and 029 are on their way, due next week.

 

[Howezy_21]

I'm almost certain that I saw 013 on test at Reading the other day

 

[AverageTD]

Is there any 707 running today on the Waterloo-Winsor and Reading line. Thought it may be the 12:56 from Richmond but it is a Reading service. Anyway of checking?

 

[Suraggu]

From Tuesday 17th October the second Class 707 10 car should be out in traffic.

[spark001uk]

Any idea why the jump to 028?

These were meant to enter service a while back, and have been a class 9 for a while. Were they class 9s whilst still being 8 car?
Correction, i cant read properly

 

[TEW]

They were meant to be in service a few weeks ago, they are running as Class 2 trains still whilst formed 8-455. Monday is the day I have seen quoted for those trains to go over to 707. Also a third diagram meant to start Monday too:
2H92 0700 Shepperton-London Waterloo via Richmond
2R13 0815 London Waterloo-London Waterloo via Richmond and Brentford
5Y24 1000 London Waterloo-Clapham Yard
5V39 1356 Clapham Yard-London Waterloo
2V39 1437 London Waterloo-London Waterloo via Brentford and Richmond
2R45 1615 London Waterloo-London Waterloo via Richmond and Brentford
2S55 1752 London Waterloo-Weybridge
2S64 1937 Weybridge-London Waterloo

2S55 will be a good test of peak loading.
