Peter Kazmierczak Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 A small contingent of the orange army gets a final briefing on the soon to be lengthened short suburban platforms at London Waterloo on 4th August 2017, ahead of three weeks of engineering work which began on 5th August. Class 455 + orange army Waterloo 04082017 cropped - RMWeb.jpg I hope it all goes smoothly for the orange army, rail staff and travelling public using Waterloo over the next few weeks. Right chaps. The train on the left is a Class 455, the one in the middle is a Class 455 and the one on the right is a Class 455. Got that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted August 6, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2017 Right chaps. The train on the left is a Class 455, the one in the middle is a Class 455 and the one on the right is a Class 455. Got that? and once we start lifting the track, none of 'em's going anywhere!

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted August 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2017 Right chaps. The train on the left is a Class 455, the one in the middle is a Class 455 and the one on the right is a Class 455. Got that? I hope the conversation was more along the lines of; "Right chaps, if these are still here tomorrow when we're scheduled to start the job then we're b*ggered !"

TEDDYBEAR D9521 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think it would have looked better with headcodes, BUT if any one wants to have a play, feel free. D1023 had the headcode blinds removed in Sept 76 at Laira due to their poor condition as there no replacements the dots where used this was at the same time head codes where being removed from all BR locos. There is a story at the time of the fitting of the dots it was done because of a rail tour that D1023 was going to work onto the BR Eastern Region which they were required for,not true.
