Driver handling training, 2 runs sat morning and early afternoon. 5Q90 91 92 93

Don’t know which circuit yet but first 730’s looking to be out in service Monday. Drivers currently being signed off from ECS moves to passenger service this week.

009 just rolling into Bletchley TMD at this moment

New blue 3/5/6/9 stop car boards have been installed at stations between Mk and Bushey so far in readiness. Currently covered to stop confusion.

Should of been put in when platform 6 was built. The toilets worked in the original platform configuration but not now.
