@oashmole some went to southern too

[oashmole]

@Grahammd206 yeah just one unit went to Southern, it was built for Southern at 1st but then went to SWT before going back, as it was built for southern in the 1st place it had the Southern green seats inside it, even when running on SWT services, also the 1st class was only at one end.

how did you get the same train every time?

[oashmole]

After filming it at Clapham Junction I jumped on a train to Waterloo, the service with the 170/159 on is allowed extra time between Clapham Junction & Waterloo to wait for it booked platform, which gave me the chance to over take it, and that included my train stopping at Vauxhall too. then i caught the 170 unit back to Clapham Jn and filmed it departing there.

@Clacatoo

they were not as modular though, so if you had 3 units coupled up, you needed 3 guards for the service, put 3 159s or 158s together and one guard can serve the entire train
