What are the safety devices in question?

From the looks of thinks, I think they might be keeping this Timetable for a good while. Probably until the start of the Illuminations. If your travelling between Starr Gate & North Pier, there's a 20 minute gap every half hour, but that could be easily plugged with a Half hourly Pleasure Beach...

754 has diesel capabilities. Could they not use that as well?

I'm in agreement with you. There's also many older people in the general public who don't know how to work a TVM.

Can you find the post please?

I wouldn't be surprised if 015 is the last 333 to get the downgrades fitted. I think the rest have already recieved the downgrades

Are there any 333s still left with the old PIS? Or are the up downgrade works now complete?

I'm not sure what I think of the new livery. I'd prefer it if each local TOC kept their own livery & branding in some form. If it ain't broke, don't change it. What does this mean for the current liveries & branding that each TOC has at the minute?

I thought the 333s kept the same speakers & amplifiers as the old system. Were they not compatible with Tfx?

How many 333s still have the old PIS System?

Same thing with the 333s. Even though the old system is outdated & needs to be replaced, replacing it with TrainFX is also a downgrade imho. They would have been better off going with any other PIS System in both scenarios (i.e: Televic, Whiteleys/BTROS, Annax, etc)

How many units have been done now? I seem to make that 8 1759574836 Are there anymore 331s due over in December? Or are they just sticking with 12?

What about the other 195 that was involved in this accident (195133)? Has that unit returned to service?

Are these the ones that are due to be worked by 170s?

Do you have a full list of which ones still have the old system?
