378 move and GOB to be DC?

The entire electrified system including the loop and link lines were designed for six-car operation, then after a very short time the trains were reduced to three cars - which is why SET and LO ended up with Class 508 units. That's all very well but the 508s were built (as 4 car units) for what is now SWT. One car from each 508 went into a 455 unit. Only then were the 508s sent to Merseyside. True, *all* the 3-car 508s went north but then several of them came back south again, after the six-car trains were reduced to three-car. So I'm not clear what point you're making. |
