How did GatEx manage then?

The old ones were Mark 2s. Not sure about their Junipers, but
again, probably different clearance from Mark 3s.

I thought the GatEx sets included some Mark 3s?


No, don't think so.



19.66m for the 460s, according to "electric-railways.co.uk", whoever

I know the 170s don't go to Victoria (because it's underground,
irrespective of coach length constraints), but how much - if any -
of the route from London Bridge to Brighton are they cleared for?

Saw one (actually a 171) at Brighton last week but it was on a service
to Ashford.


You get SWT 170s at Brighton as well, but that still leaves most of the
route to South Croydon uncertain.

They are narrower than 442s though, and maybe tapered in different
ways, so if they are cleared it wouldn't follow that 442s were.

Come to think of it, the 166s are quite long and wider still, and cover
the Redhill to Gatwick bit.
