Oh, this means that not all class 460 carriages are being converted to 458/5 after all.
It was only ever planned to use 60 of the 64 coaches.
The first thirty converted became 458531-36. The other 30 were inserted into 458001-30(8001-30) which became 458501-30.
It just looks likely that the TOC - Southern and the trade unions are on a collision course here .

It seems that this could be quite an interesting time ahead for the passengers in this area.
700109 was noted heading south through East Croydon on test yesterday afternoon.
442423 has been moved to Eastleigh for storage.
