5Y40 – The Final Class 460 Transfer to Chart Leacon

The Class 460 ‘Gatwick Express’ units have reached the end of their service life in their original form, with the sets being transferred to Chart Leacon for conversion into Class 458s.

In this scenario, you will be driving 5Y40, an empty stock movement from Stewarts Lane Depot to Paddock Wood, where another driver will take over for the final leg to Chart Leacon. Your route takes you via the Chatham Main Line and Southeastern Main Line, passing through Bromley South and Tonbridge.

This should be a straightforward run, but with regular Southeastern services sharing the line, be prepared for potential signal checks along the way. Stick to your path, manage your speed, and hand over the train safely at Paddock Wood.
