Oh right, okay - thanks. So I’m assuming all Weybridges, two Windsors as of now, and then… two Readings?

Excellent.
There’s still one Weybridge with 450s I believe and it looks like just one reading diagram that’s 458/4. The other diagram being /5

According to Real-time Trains 458420 is on its way from Bournemouth depot to Wimbledon depot. Am I correct in saying that only remain at at Bournemouth depot?
Will 458404 & 458419 will soon enter passenger service?
Will 458404 & 458419 will soon enter passenger service?
Hasn't 8419 been in service already?

A post on the 9 April stated 404 and 419 had still not entered passenger traffic. They were frequently used on 5Q90 & 5Q91 (Bournemouth to Basingstoke and return) since returning from Alstom.

Not to my knowledge. These two are the only ones that have not entered passenger service, although there are another couple that have worked but have been inactive for a while - 403 since failing at Waterloo prior to 2S62 18.02.25 and 426 since failing at Clapham on 2R47 24.03.25. I also notice that 458530 has been inactive for a month now, so maybe it has worked its last?

These allocations of how many diagrams of this stock works where, and for how long etc., is any of this likely to change again after the 25th when the franchise ends? Or not really?

This could result in a shortage of units in the summer timetable if 12 pairs are still required!

Would anyone know if something has happened involving 421+423 on last night's 5Y66? They left WYB bay but then went back in, and still there now.
I know SWR are saying urgent track repairs, but I couldn't see any repairs taking place as I passed. I'm assuming the issue would have been there, as the empties were only booked to roll up to wk1102 and reverse out onto the up slow.?

There were replacement buses, the website now says
"Due to urgent repairs to the railway between Weybridge and Virginia Water, all lines have now reopened, however services may be delayed or revised at short notice whilst services return to normal timetable."
But no detailed reason given
No they won’t

According to TRAKSY 5y66 is still in Weybridge platform 1. The down 2SXX services are being held at Addlestone until the is a brief lull to the service at Weybridge platform 2.

Looks like the trap points ahead of platform 1 are set to on which is why 5Y66 is stuck in the bay as they've likely failed.
Platform 2 congestion showing as peak arrives.

No I think the trap points are OK, they're on because the road is set for 2S46 to cross in front of it, they'll be safety interlocked with those.

There was an operational incident but I don't think anyone in the know would be willing to divulge on the open internet, nor would it be fair to anyone involved before all facts have been established. Sorry.

Ah OK, say no more.
(I was only asking because it was reported as track works. If I'd known it was an opinc I wouldn't have asked for details.)
It was track works, to repair the damage after the op incident

Looks like said 5Y66 has now become 5X50 leaving for Wimbledon Park around 14:10 out of Weybridge Bay. Same shunt to WK1102 first, then change ends and get the all clear to get on the mains.

And passing by it initially according to the working - continuing to, and spending an hour at Waterloo, before coming back down to wim pk (via Point Pleasant)

Guessing they've chosen not to reverse and go up the main now, it's amended to go via Staines/Richmond.
