I suspected that might be the case. The power being switched off is the only time the EMUs I'm familiar with would be powered down.

Looking at it again, they appear to have changed their minds, they've thrown in a 1530 VSTP to Wolverton instead (although yes, it does say its leaving before the down working gets there, but that will probably get altered), so I'm guessing they've agreed to go straight back to Wolverton possibly to get another finished unit.

OK thanks for the info. Assume the 455s are being used to monitor various electrical interactions, as was performed with 701/444 down there previously?
Yes thats correct
caught me a bit off guard hence the not very good pics as it came through at 14.50 rather than 14.58
as for the other train supposed to come from bournemouth that never turned up
cant upload pics for some reason says " a server error occurred, try again later" ....

Change of plan again now, the loco and barriers is going up to Eastleigh yard for the night, booked to depart 1800.
Nothing onwards from that in the system as yet.

that was a waste of time for me as i went to view it but dont have internet on my phone so couldnt look at any updates so went home 
still cant upload pics due to a server error so someone might want to let an admin know theres something wrong as im not quite sure how to do that

Reported elsewhere 5Q70 left Eastleigh this morning for Wolverton with another unit, possibly 442403. I missed it myself.

Noticed this movement at Basingstoke around 1.30pm. Noticed another unusual movement showing up that showed up on opentrain times but was not visible. Mysteriously I heard a rumble from under the bridge at Norn hill beneath me and out popped a Dc rail 60 dragging a 50 ..on the wrong line.. spooky day!!

Confirmed that it was 2403 going to Wolverton
Believe that to be 2417 & 2423 as they have been at Fratton CSD & Ports Sea DCS for some while

That doesn’t sound like new AC motors....
That's what I thought too, I recall further back in this thread that these units have occasionally been swapped back to BOMO otherwise they have been shuttled back and forth from PMS and Fratton for months, long before the first AC conversions.

That's the film right enough. My mate who filmed it is an ex-driver, who used to sign 442s. He seems pretty convinced, I don't know what to think myself.
