Brief shot of Arterios stored at Soton Docks as I left on a cruise this afternoon.

Apologies if this is not posted in the right category. I have been wondering for a while how many track miles of UK railway have been removed (or converted to OHLE) over the years, that were already 3rd rail electrified. Lines that spring to mind are: * Copyhold Junction to Horsted Keynes *...

If it helps, I think you can still go directly from Preston Park and Hove to Clapham Junction.

Tonbridge box controls the top end of the Hastings line - but looks out on Tonbridge station, RTT and XTD lines (controlled by Ashford WS2).

There's a great video on the transition of the units from SWT red to SER blue here.

Southern have done the same. Can't help but wonder if this is also a way of trialling a more up to date unified GTR livery too.....

377523 has been at Brighton for quite some time in the same location..... (377164 was there last week too).

I'd happily report either the matters formally I described - it drives me mad that those employed by TL / S / GN can't provide the correct answers - and cause so much confusion. Point me in the right direction and I can send something!

I've had the attached response from Southern Customer Services - which (thanks to the other responses in this thread) shows they haven't got a clue. My only concern is that anyone else asking this question, might just believe them.....

Hello, It was this service (attached). Left Wivelsfield (my home) almost on time - but was cancelled short of London Victoria due to late running (problems with attachment at Haywards Heath). If we wanted Victoria we were all advised to leave train at Gatwick and take a Gatex (sound advice by...

Thank you - very helpful. I spent an hour at my home station with the man in the ticket office (who also agreed I was right) - but he could not find any written reference to this 'rule'. He even called Brighton ticket office who agreed but didn't know where to find this in writing. Thankfully I...

Sorry if this has been answered before.... I've been traveling for years between Gatwick and Manchester Picc on an open off-peak rtn ticket (Mon-Fri). Virgin Trains are very clear about their peak and off-peak times. I tend to leave Euston on the 09.40 service heading northwards. In order...

First post - so be gentle with me! I saw a 10 coach 442 going south through Burgess Hill towards Brighton at about 15:05 (May 4th). Took me by surprise. Thought they had all departed. Anyone any ideas why?
