Summer 2015 ~ Govia TLink FleetList

Welcome to this GTR Govia FleetList, showcasing the whole the Thameslink fleet. Please don't repost the content of this page publicly without permission. 

Recent Changes: 319003, 319007, 319008, 319011, 319012 now in Govia TL Livery. Other significant changes are coloured in RED font. 

The use of the words 'Govia TL Livery' mean the trains are painted white throughout and have light blue doors. Some units are still in FirstCapitalConnect blue, but don't have a livery code next to them.

Correct for September 2015 ONLY. Beyond October 2015 it's likely this page will be out of date. However, the FleetList will be renewed in early 2016.

Special - Rebuilding the 1960's Class 73's.

Image
It's Friday, and today's post is a special! Not as I'm here (Andy)... Class 73's were built in the 1960's and generally used in the Southern region. In 2013, it was announced that GB Railfreight would initially be re-building 5 Class 73's to make them Class 73/9's. The complete re stripping and rebuilding has taken place at Brush Traction in Loughborough.  The Class 73/9's first started testing in late 2014 (73 961 - 965) as there had been some issues, however they were all resolved pretty soon. The 73/9's are intended to work infrastructure trains (test trains under Network Rail) and also to be used on Rail Head Treatment Trains. As a result of the rebuild, it has given the Class 73/9's up to 25 years more in service, and more 73/9's are to be released over the coming months which should see them introduced on to the Serco Sleeper eventually!
