PEPs 210 and 203 passing my gloomy locality a few minutes ago

 

[swt_passenger]

Quite a few West Coastway services have been cancelled this morning. I wonder if those, plus lack of path for the PEPs trip, relates to this week's overtime ban action?

There were issues with Barnham train crew depot being inaccessible so no one could sign on.
There’s a thread about it here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/what-is-going-on-at-barnham-this-morning.251058/

Have you got a link to this?

Yes it's good news on the face of it but where/how will it run? Spot hire? Will it be "exercised" on the juice to keep things ticking over? Or will it just become another "depot pet" and be allowed to rot away?

I went past Eastleigh yesterday.

It appears that 313220 is part way through the disposal, to be followed by 313207 and 313204. From its position, 313209 may follow from them.

Class 313 update, Eastleigh Works, 9th July 2023

The situation appears to be one coach of 313220 awaiting entry to the scrapping area, with the middle TS next to the digger, on the right;...

Am I right in saying that 313205 and 313211 have yet to be moved to Eastleigh?

TIA

"They think it's all over. It is now".

The last PEPs consist. A defaced 211 + 205, pass, with horn sounding - a fitting tribute.

[that1pepfan]

Yes those two I also think are still to move

Should be moving today or tomorrow

Any progress, with further units facing the cutter at Eastleigh?
