The original plan was December 2010, but that has now slipped to December
2012 for completion of platform lengthening. I'm not sure if any final
decision has yet been taken about rolling stock, so there's no guarantee
that 10 car trains will actually be operating by January 2013.

No final decision yet - rumours of Juniper re-engineering, to include former
class 460 cars into the 458s, continue and there have also been suggestions
that the 24 class 456s will transfer from Southern to SWT. The 456s, of
course, were originally designed and built for the South Western Division
but have never actually operated there, being diverted to the South Central
Division before delivery.
