There are currently still a few FCC turns where 319s are dropped off/collected at Selhurst for weekend A & B exams. The last 12 319s are still theoretically based there until the end of this year. If it all goes to plan they'll surrender them to FCC then.

I've heard a strong rumor from several reliable sources that the shortfall this causes Southern may be plugged by loaned 465/6 Networkers from the SouthEastern. (I hope not for their sake - I wouldn't wish those dustbins on my worst enemy ).

Is there any reason they can't use the spare 508's on the south london circulars to allow 455's on the longer runs?

In answer to Muncaster's question, and Ian's fantastic reply in giving a whole list of Depot addresses, I thought........Tom-Tom!

I've made, with the help of Ian's addresses and Google Earth.... 2 files to install on your Tom-Tom. They're not complete as to Ians list, I've concentrated on the Motive power Depots for the moment. But they are as far as I can confirm by Google Earth accurate.

The problem now is: How do I get them to you to install on your Tom-Tom?

There are 2 files to install.

The first is a small .BMP file which gives you the icon on the screen and should be no problem. The second is the locations.... .OV2 files (I think).

Not sure though if the site will accept them to upload.

Could anyone advise?.....

Once again forum members have gone out of their way to help other members and once again the question's originator has not had the common decency to acknowledge the fact............It doesn't appear that Mr. Muncaster has even been back to the forum since the day he asked the question (11th February 2008)
