318's are older but we were told it was the full fleet to simplify traction, improve the ability to assist in the event of a failure and provide more capacity through fixed 5/6 car formations.
whether it happens due to covid and a lack of money remains to be seen
Its not my place to explain, I was asked if I would help with training on new units then the mention of 350's came about.
I dont know what's available from who or where, I'm repeating what was mentioned
Its not so much about the testing procedures etc as having a limited supply of d.i's willing to take a trainee at the moment, everybody's situation is different and some feel that it's not the right time for them personally. In addition to that there are existing drivers who have had incidents...
Training is starting back up, I'd imagine trainees will be back out with instructors from june/July onwards. Some may be later as they wait on an available instructor but there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel
