Are the 810s on set diagrams? I'm booked on 1F37 (12:32 St Pancras to Sheffield) on 17/10/26 and hoping to try out the 810s.
Yes they are. That's still diagrammed a 222 but it is possible there might be more changes by then I guess.

Usually 6 do start the day but 6 don't always end the day. Today has seen 018 fail at East Midlands Parkway. Sometimes 2 fail.

I've noticed there seems to be a lot of units that fail at East Midlands Parkway. Is there a reason for that do you think or am I just noticing a trend that isn't there?

Can stop them off the mainline, with less disruption to other trains, maybe?
I guess as well it's the last point for a Nottingham train to divert to Derby also?

Indeed it is.

016 failed today too earlier today (at Derby) so 2 out of 6 units failed in service.

Was 810 018 the other? Apparently at the aforementioned East Midlands Parkway?

Not fully certain, but 810021 was mentioned to have been out and about on Mileage Accumulation, so possibly that one?
As has 023

Ah ok, wasn’t aware that 023 was out too, one of the 2 then?
To be honest could be 021, 023, 024 and 025.
All been seen at Aycliffe under doing the usual testing before leaving factory. And ll have been on the section where the 'door mods' are undertaken.
024 was also on test track last week for a couple of hours.

Anyone have any idea when they will go to Lincoln on the 6am trains? Currently they are only being run by 222s

That is a great question, hopefully someone can answer here.

It was never going to be the first place they go to, mainly because only a handful of staff sign Lincoln (so would be logistically difficult), but also because in the normal timetable both unit diagrams involve coupling which the 810s still can't do in passenger service yet. Personally I can't see it happening before December
I thought that I had seen that 10 car operation in passenger use had been authorised?
It's just that not enough serviceable sets available to enable it to be done?
The testing for it all is complete hence why 003 and 004 have returned to Aycliffe due to all relevant testing being finished.

Do we know which unit ran this? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K04642/2026-09-28

So almost a year on from entry we only have 6 units in service each day? That is diabolical. Why are heads not rolling?
The managing director stepped down... Who else would you like to see go?
It is ridiculous though. Idk why these trains are somehow so much worse than every other 80x type.

Seen on Facebook it was 017 and 020 moving back there.
Sorry should have clarified - I think its more the fact that only a few drivers have been trained on 10 car 810 running however it is progressing
