The only place you can ride these trains on the main line is between Brockenhurst and Lymington Pier, the loco on the front is only used to rescue the units if they fail, although the loco has run in passenger service on the line to Lymington Pier branch twice. There are some other locos that are used for engineers trains and on the Kent area for d-icing duties.
iam trying to post the links to the groups for you but the messege with them does not display here, send a message to my fotopic site and i will try and reply there.
Yes i did have a trip over to the Kingston line on a Sunday morning after my last night turn for the week to get the 450's & 458's on the diverted Reading & Windsor & Eton Riverside services.
Do they still have that type of train?
