7101 is at Hornsey. It has some more software updates and bits to be done on it before it goes out for more network testing.

Depends on the Fitment. The Hitachi fleet appear to operate with TPWS & AWS separate to the DMI (not STM). So even in Level NTC (AWS/TPWS) you won't necessary get the Sunflower displayed on the DMI. On the Class 700/717 and 387 (GTR not HX) the TPWS & AWS are built into the DMI display (STM) and...

If the 810s follow the 800s (etc), the TWPS & AWS Equipment is separate from the DMI.

Indeed but the idea not to specify them at the time (like WiFI) was a poor decision by the DfT at the time. I wouldn't say Seat Back tables impacts Loading and Unloading Times. In my experience, most people have got their bag packed, tray table stowed and coffee cup in hand before the train has...

My TOC has Black Ends and Yellow Ends and Little Yellow Ends. It's the lights you see on the modern MU!

I feel it was a mistake not to go down the route of Sectors again. Like NSE, RR and Intercity. Nice and simple to split between your Longer Distance service and Commuter and Rural services. Maybe they will... but every train the same colour isn't the best idea (IMO). Quite like the Chiltern...

Depends on what you need to reset and the Fleet instruction.

Standard if you do a full reboot..

Not sure on that for a DOO network!

They've also added DCO/DOO Cameras!

It does these days, AFAIK.

Very Useful! Count the amount of commuters, and general off-peak passengers who use the Table for; Tea, Coffee, Food, Booze, Books, iPads, Laptops, Phones etc! Daft not having them this day and age. The 700s not having them was a terrible idea, I'm glad the change happened.

Is it? I actually thought it was more spacious than a 377/387/379 and definitely more than a 717! (Which only has emergency exit steps)

Smart Decision... who knows the future schemes! All new builds should come with it as standard! Thanks.

Trying to work out if the 810 is ETCS Ready (with the DMI having some ETCS functions showing...)
