Ironically the old 1610 Euston-Holyhead (Voyager) was the one return service from London that was banned for off-peak tickets to North Wales.
6 Trains Per Day, 7 on Sunday
Avanti have 11 out of the 13 units accepted.
001，003—005，008—013 in service
006，007 were testing on wcml last year
Yes 006 and 007 weee testing earlier this year as well, but they are back at the factory.
when 002 was in service？never seen it in use and is not even in avanti livery
Correct still plain grey, I’m 99% certain it has worked 1 maybe 2 max passenger services. Am sure I’ve seen pictures of it , but can not for life of me find them now.
They normally do. Although the company that do the vinyls can and do travel to depots to do it.
Probably December now at the earliest.
Thank you.
805002 hasn't worked any passenger services. But has been on the back of Empty moves which have split before forming passenger services.
That’s may explain where I ‘thought’ I had seen it.
i made a list and observed only the
Any reason why it hasn't been in service yet?
unsure，sorry
but they're testing nowadays quite freuqent
Is the driver allowed to switch it off and back on again with people on board?
Yes. 99% of the time it rectifies the fault.
Yes, although its a more time consuming process with these than with 390s.
They tried this but it didn't fix it, so the service was cancelled and we were turfed out to take our chances with TfW.
And yet some of those additional trains per hour start in December and more were at least planned for next May?
Cue Virgin taking it as apart of their open access application
Won't that create a reduction in capacity as aren't Liverpools usually 11 cars?
