SWT Slam Door services 2005 08/11/2017 at 01:24 #102707

Hello all,

Can anyone remember if SWT were running 421's or 423's in 2005? I can't remember when they ended or if they were working in 2005, what they tended to do?

I tried looking at the Waterloo SimSig timetables for some idea, but the BH Monday 2005 TT has no slammers at all, and the 2004 one is all slammers and no Desiro's. Most or all of the 450's were working in 2005 weren't they? Was there a handful of slammers still about or was it half and half?


Any help appreciated!

James.

According to wikipedia 4CEPs ended on SWT in May 2005 and the final working was Waterloo to Bournemouth with what appears to have been the final 4VEP working too.

Hi James

I have found a bunch of Fratton Diagrams from that period but no indication whether they were CEP's or CIG's. VEP's were all Wimbledon Diagrams and I can't find any (doesn't mean there were not any though!)

Sorry guys, I am in the business of making people wait!

Thanks guys!

It's for Railworks London - Brighton around the Clapham area for AI trains. I should be able to put a few 450's in instead just wondering if a few too many 450's at one time would be un-realistic, but it should be ok by the sound of it.


Thanks again!

James.
