455703 and 455726 are believed out of service as parts donors, there’s a recent thread here:

U.455847 was involved in a collision in Wimbledon Park Depot awhile ago with a 456 which subsequently both units have not worked in traffic since. Cant recall seeing any of 4557xx units you mentioned recently but 5866/5905 & 5919 have been out in traffic service, possibly now stopped for exams, etc.

455847 has gone away for repairs somewhere IIRC.

Apart from 5866 everything else is showing to be in maintenance.
