  1. According to rumours, they are being reactivated for stabling Thameslink Class 700's on the Littlehampton services as spare stabling space is at a premium.  Currently the three up trains in the morning and the three down trains in the evening, two have to run empty to/from Three Bridges or Preston Park whilst the third stables like a cuckoo in the nest in Southern's shed at Littlehampton overnight.

     

    However there will need to be some sort of alteration to the pointwork on the main line as otherwise a complicated reversal via Worthing will be needed for stock going from the sidings to Littlehampton.

     

    How will they get them in the sidings if DOO? Walk through the train whilst it's sat over the crossing?  :mosking:

     

    The neighbours are going to love the additional noise from the sidings, especially the new houses on the south side that were built after the depot closure.  No doubt the some of the locals will also show their displeasure and the units won't remain white for much longer.
