There must be another diagram; they’ve got two pairs out according to social media.

There’s only one pair in service today. The fact this diagram is inbalanced suggests there may well be two pairs from tomorrow.

edit: The other diagram should’ve been this but is an 8 car 465 today. (465242 & 250 which are due to go into store on Thursday)

5N85 06+27 Grove Park Down CHS to Slade Green
2B85 0709 Slade Green to Cannon Street
2T41 0816 Cannon Street to Cannon Street
Berths at Cannon Street until:
2T69 1517 Cannon Street to Cannon Street
2T77 1715 Cannon Street to Cannon Street
2T85 1915 Cannon Street to Cannon Street
5E85 21+00 Cannon Street to Slade Green Depot

The new announcements on the Southeastern 707s are 100% identical to the Thameslink 700s announcements. It is the exact same format and wording and the same voices (Julie Berry and Matthew Streeton) who do the announcements. Good to see that they got rid of the disjointed unreliable Text To Speech system (Acapela Rachael) that SWR and SWT used.

Hopefully because there are less calling points on their routes compared to 700s, the 707s will get to the useful display screens like passenger loading heat maps quicker, something that's a problem using 700s on their Rainham route and I imagine through the core as well with short stopping distances (correct me if any of this is wrong).

I know they have some of the pages turned off through the core to prioritise calling pattern information.

The next two 707s will come over on Friday 1st October: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:Q11897/2021-10-01/detailed

Expect it’ll be 707027 with 707028 that’s been spotted debranded at Wimbledon Depot.

707009 & 010 have 700/717 seat covers, the rest going forward will have SE ones.
Was that presumably just that they needed new/blue ones and there were some GTR covers going spare? To my eye the subtle change in pattern does make quite a difference.

yeah thats what I'm thinking, the southeastern ones could've been late, and they just needed something bloo temporarily. the seats really do make all the difference

After today’s news about the franchise I wouldn’t expect they’d be too worried about seat cover patterns…

So they've still got that pointless 2+1 section, with an aisle wide enough to drive a London Bus down it (metaphorically), but no extra grab handles when compared to the usual 2+2

Great work putting in pointless seat covers in SE blue now there's no franchise.

Thankfully the 465s are all in sparking condition and didn't need that money.
