Was on a class 700 on the Thameslink route a few days ago, so new I could still smell the plastic on the train! Have to admit I was very impressed with the overhead info system and the design of the train, looking forward to seeing them as part of the South West fleet as well! 😊

And in 2022 (next year) all 30 Class 707s are to be cascaded to Southeastern to work on the suburban services in Southeast London and to displace some of the Class 465 and Class 466 Networkers to be used on other routes. And have been named as “City Beam”. And maybe Siemens could continue on manufacturing more Class 7xx Desiro City units for Southern to replace the Class 455 and Class 313 as the Class 717 have been built for Great Northern to operate on the Moorgate Line. And have replaced the Class 313 on the Moorgate Line and Hertford North loop line.

Bournemouth-Waterloo, i mean this train needs to replace the 455s and 456s, it's rather amazing to see how far the 444 has done. It runs smoothly on stopper services and fast services. The tables and seats are comfortable. The only part needed to improve is that 444s are always busy.

This stuff is more common on national railways, this is only a regional one with the whole course probably taking less than 3 hours. It's basically only an upscaled city-tram, not a downscaled inter-city railway. At least the trains driving in my area (Germany) usually have one part of the train fitted for bike-storage, but I don't know if these trains have it. c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I00002aAmR0Puhag/fit=1000x750/China-train-3.jpg that's a food trolley, mostly used in trains with bigger routes. Though in Germany they are getting used less and people are adviced to use the board restaurant if they want to buy stuff. (in Germany those trolleys usually sold snacks, sandwiches and of course coffee and tea)

***** Well idk if I'm right, I don't go on trains very often, only went on a few for my first proper time on holiday, but I always assumed that some trains had a restaurant style carriage, I could've sworn I saw something similar on TV. I know it's wouldn't be on all trains, but even just bike storage, pram storage, toilets or a food cart the people bring down, I don't know how they'd store it.
@TheClintonio
@TheClintonio 8 жыл бұрын
There won't be a quiet carriage it seems. Hopefully these sorts of carriages don't make onto the long distance trains. The class 450 are already bad enough. I'd like to see more trains like the 158, 159 and 444 when commuting.
@panda1384
@panda1384 8 жыл бұрын
***** Those "regional" trains usually drive a max length of ~4hours in Germany (we have a lot of train-stuff going on), they have one part where you can store your bikes (usually in the back of the train). There are no food carts, some regional trains have first class which are only separated by doors, but this type of train (completely open) usually don't have any first class. There are toilets! And the newer the train, the more there are usually. This train probably has 4-8 toilets. For carriage/cases, there are often some dedicated places between seats (_/ [packages] \_

@KasabianFan44 8 жыл бұрын
Good point. The answer is that there are a few technical differences between the 700, the 707 and the 717. The 707s will have power sockets, while the others will not (that's the only difference I can think of but there are probably more). The 717s (which will be used on the Northern City line) will not have toilets, unlike the others. That's why they're given different numbers.
@agent_605
@agent_605 8 жыл бұрын
The 717 probably won't have end gangways as they are being built as 6 car trains which is the max length on the Northern City line which is where they will serve, so they will usually only operate as 1 unit

Any sign of tables on these? The carriage end tables on the 458/5s are very handy on my commute. Technical reliability on the 458/5s has been appalling. The fire might have been a one-off but door circuit failures have been a regular occurrence over the last few months. Typically it seems to happen with a 10 car formation, the doors are released on one of the 5 car units but not the other and the guard can be oblivious, leaving passengers stuck both inside and outside. The replacements can't come soon enough, and I pity the Reading route passengers....

Actually, it's much worse in Germany. He was just allowed to drive because of the nature of that line (being the test track owned by SIEMENS). DB NETZ (Germany's Notwork Fail), the EBA (Eisenbahn Bundes Amt) and the TAB (Technische Aufsichtbehörde) would have a very serve problem with anybody driving a train on a normal line which is not allowed to do so. More information on the SIEMENS test track is aviable here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_and_validation_centre,_Wegberg-Wildenrath You can see it on Google Maps as well: www.google.de/maps/place/Siemens+AG/@51.1147779,6.2219756,15.5z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbdee258b85a7ba1d!8m2!3d51.1174701!4d6.2250906

+wkc19 interesting that they say that the southwestern mainline won't use the 25kv overhead for many years to come. I read somewhere (I can't remember the specific site) that trains being produced in future have to have at least passive provision for a pantograph for possible conversion to 25kv overhead electrification in future. Wonder what the cost of such an operation would be, not only in the cost of mounting the wires but lowering the tracks and redesigning the bridges etc...

It's how virtually every British EMU has been designed since the Electrostar. It allows for more flexibility during the units' lifetime and a simpler manufacturer catalogue.

sm6allegro Thanks for the answer. So it won't be as expensive as I thought and might be used if/when they get moved to another line. Makes sense. If that's the standard, will that mean that eventually all electric trains that use 3rd rail can be easily changed to be able to use both? Sounds to me like a way to make changing it all to ohle possible also.

Isn't London lucky! All we get is cast offs for our new electric railways in Manchester and Liverpool. I wonder what people would say if they had a 2 car 142 turn up to take them to work each morning?

So what? 2 car isn't enough for up here. The number of people per carriage up here during rush hour far exceeds London to the point where it is almost a weekly occurrence where someone has to be taken off the train by ambulance because they have fallen ill due to the heat caused by the number of people

The Class 707 are to replace the Class 458s on some routes, so that the 458s can then replace the 450s on other routes, so that the 450s can then be sold to another company. The 455s and (sadly) the 456s aren't going anywhere.

@KasabianFan44

First of all, GTR (parent company of Southern) has some pretty modern rolling stock at the moment. 377s, 387s, 700s and 171s, which make up over 70% of the company's fleet, are all less than 13 years old (and many of those are less than three years old!). As for the older stock: they are currently withdrawing all of the 319s and about half of the 455s. They have already withdrawn all of the 456s. They are also planning to replace all of the 317s, 321s and 365s, as well as all the 313s on the Great Northern route. Secondly, it's not Southern's fault that some absolute joke of a trade union tells drivers to strike as often as they can just because they don't want to agree to the role changes that Southern wants to implement (which, by the way, are good).

I wasn't talking about them needing modern stock. They just need MORE of it, and some proper rolling stock management so train lengths are suitable for purpose. etc
