South Western Railways 458, 458413 & 458402 approach Wokingham on borrowed time while working 2C46 the 14:39 Reading to London Waterloo service. The 458s will be withdrawn in the coming months as they are being replaced by the 701s and can't work the Portsmouth Direct Line.
Reasons I have been given
An unknown class 378 Capitalstar arrives at Kensington (Olympia) having worked 2Y78 the 15:38 off Stratford (London) heading to Clapham Junction on a Sunny Sunday in April.
We see the first fully Great British Railways livery train being on 387, which is an ex-Great Western Railway livery liveried unit. https://x.com/tr41nz/status/2056709132200169880?s=20
This is a quite unusual sign. This sign is located at all stations on the Bromley North Line which receive 4 car class 465 trains however platforms are long enough to fully fit an 8 car train in so to save passengers walking to the far end of Sundridge Park, Grove Park Platform 1 and Bromley North as they would only have to walk back to get on the train so they have installed these signs.
Due to planned Engineering Works at Bromley South closing the railway last Sunday, Southeastern operated a replacement Rail service from Bromley North station to London Cannon Street calling only at London Bridge. To enable this to happen there had to be a closure on another part of the network to free up Grove Park drivers for this working, which luckly there was as there was alsp engineering works in the Dartford, area limiting number of trains which could run which provided the train crewe and rolling stock for this super rare service which last happened around 10 years ago.
What route codes would show in the Theatre box for signal WM27 controlled from Wokingham Signal Box? The line which this signal controlled has been resignalled to Basingstoke ROC and has been replaced by signal BEF2266.
