    Correct, 028 is fully accepted but being retained as the final unit for training (barriers fitted) and 029 developed an issue delaying it a week, should hopefully be out next week. 028 is used for training runs and pti testing

    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    Utter made up Drivel. The 701/5s have the same cab as the 701/0s. They do not need to go back to Alstom. They are further back in the up lift programme as the priority is getting the 10 cars in service first. There are no coupling issues.
