SN no longer run any 455s to Guildford, it was said in another thread it’s all 377s since May. Only 6 passenger services per day now anyway...

So there is a conductor for just a few stations then they revert to OBS?

Sorry, but why would they need a conductor?

Thought someone said DOO hadn't been cleared to Guildford

No idea. They do use DOO with OBS quite happily at other extremities such as Southampton, and even on the 2 or 3 a day via Eastleigh.

455s still operate on the Epsom Downs branch.

 

[OxtedSignaller]

Guildford services still operate with a Selhurst Conductor

Similar to that of the WCML services from Clapham Onwards they have to have a guard. Guildford is the same from SWT boundary.

It's now back. 455818 has also been done. Another 455 has been taken up but awaiting confirmation on what it is, its in the 45583x range
Any more Wi-Fi equipped 455's out there?

Confirmed the 455 now at Wolverton is 455830.
455817 and 455826 seen yesterday Wi-Fi equipped

 

[Class455]

455830 has now returned from overhaul, 455809 takes its place

 

[Class455]

455809 now back from overhaul, any idea what unit is there now?

 

[WVL14]

Nothing has been allocated on Gemini, but the last move from Stewarts Lane to Wolverton took place on 19-11-18. There are 3 x 455s shown at Stewarts Lane since before that date which are 5812, 5836 and 5846 so will be one (or two) of those.

 

[Class455]

Any idea of what 455's have been visiting Wolverton recently? I've noticed some units still have the original door buttons too. I think all 455's have been fitted with WiFi too.

 

[Southern Dvr]

5808 went on 10/12/18. Presume it’s back?

It came back today, with 455832 taking its place

 

[Class455]

Have any 455's been sent away to Wolverton recently? Quite a few are still yet to be modified

Would seem to suggest there are some more moves afoot!

And it looks like a move did take place! Any idea of what unit was sent back?

455833 now modified, went to Wolverton recently.
Can anyone confirm the following:
If there's currently a 455 at Wolverton and,
If the following units have had new door alarms fitted:
455812
455827
455835
455836
455840
455842
455843

I know 5803 doesn't have new door alarms as I saw it recently, I think 5827 still may have its old door alarms but not sure

 

[Class455]

Another 455 was moved to Wolverton in the early hours of yesterday morning by 37884. Any idea of which one?

 

[Class455]

It would appear 455816 has now been fully modified, it was hauled by 37884 last week back to Stewarts Lane

Quite a few 455's are still running around with their original door buttons, 455827 and 455843 are two which are yet to be modified.
