I think there is still a peak time working which utilises 450s, I had such a thing (probably the same one you noted!) from Staines to Reading way back in 2010, much to my dismay at the time as I had wanted more 458 action!

I posted it on a Facebook group I'm part of and they also said the same thing :P. The side display looked a bit dodgy with "Reading via Richmond" on one line, as if it was manually entered* :? (rather than programmed as that is often done on two lines, but in this case it did fit on one line, unlike say "London Waterloo via Richmond" that the peak Shepperton branch Desiros via Richmond show).

* Three weeks ago I saw a Haslemere-Waterloo displaying "77 London Waterloo" on the side

Which group is that, out of curiosity?

There are reports from Twitter that 1824 WAT-DKG and 2036 WAT-HMC formed of 8.450s today instead of 455. They were very surprised at the substitution

. Diagram appears to be as follows:
(5D53 1743 Wimbledon Park Depot Sdgs - Waterloo)
1D53 1824 Waterloo - Dorking
1D62 1933 Dorking - Waterloo
2J63 2036 Waterloo - Hampton Court

1D69 2209 Waterloo - Dorking
(5Y66 2304 Dorking - Wimbledon Park Depot Sdgs)

Cheers for the gen, I recognise the group name since someone on my friends list posts photos on there. Might join myself to join some SR photos, got a surprisingly huge amount of them somewhere!

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
455916+455915 on the 1923 Waterloo - Surbiton

Techniquest · 1 Jul 2014

The 1923 is booked a pair of 455s and RA Waterloo to Surbiton correct?

No observations from me lately I'm afraid, not been able to get on a trip or even close to the railway for ages

What is RA? Plus that was more to do with 5915+5916 being together like 5720 and 5721 were for quite a while recently :P
(rather than some random combination like a /9 and /8 which failed on the 1916 Chessington South)

hassaanhc said:

RA is non stop.

Say a London Kings Cross train was at York and it was non stop you would say it is RA to the Cross or whatever you want to call it.

Techniquest · 2 Jul 2014

Ahhh got you now. Aye had that a good while on a trip in South Wales, had 43015+43016 on a Newport to Cardiff bus stop bash (see Keith Jarrett, told you I'd use it and credit you!

) and it randomly made me smile

RA = Right Away. As fishquinn points out, it's commonly used in basher circles to mean non-stop from point A to point B.

I had tried to make a post yesterday morning but forgotten it didn't go through due to lack of signal :lol:

There are other services around that time that are First Stop Surbiton, I noticed a 1848 Guildford via Cobham which I'm sure is also a 455 (didn't think to go and check what it was!) while the 1802/1902 Woking via Weybridge are 12.450/8.450 respectively.

Not too familiar with the jargon/abbreviations used by bashers! :lol:

Right then, A few posts from me later today and tomorrow.

Today I am doing the 18:54 train from Leamington Spa-Banbury and then the 19:45 from Banbury back to Leamington Spa just to get 67020 in.

Tomorrow I should be popping down to Warwick station while mum pops to the hospital for a scan so I should do the 15:45 from Warwick to Leamington Spa for the 15:59 back to Warwick. Main reason I am doing this is to (hopefully) get in a winner 168 or 2 and see a couple of freight trains pass Leamington.
