Question: does a unit have to complete ffm before it can be used for training?

From experience, sitting on an ironing board (387) from London to Cardiff isn't the most comfortable ride. Then again, at least you're not sat with a metal bar digging into your backside I suppose.

Looks like 003 has sat down on 2E11, it left PNZ on time but can't see how far it got as RTT has cleared it

The diagram 003 has been on is being taken up by a 158 today. Assume same issue, no driver available signing 175?

No 175 signing driver?

Put some side ladders on, stick 'em on the roof, India style.! :lol::lol::lol:

Damn it, the one day I take 2E11 up from BOD, it gets canned at PLY - but on the plus side it doesn't appear to be unit trouble, rather they've no relief driver.!!

I'm assuming this is linked to 2C11/2P16 and 2C21/2P26 being canned every day, guessing they simply don't have the stock to cover them?

I know.! I declined that at ply, due to the fact I've seen more comfortable tinned sardines, and opted for the slightly more bearable 1415 iet up

And that's proving to be hellish at best today due to cross country's meltdown.!!

Looks like it's going to do a fair few miles today, it's showing as currently running to time on 2C20, followed by 2E17 to Exeter SD.

Just arrived in the west for a week, was going to ride one or two 175s if there's some about, but having just come past Laira and seen the place rammed with them, in stark contrast to the somewhat large presence of 150s at Plymouth, I'm going to throw a wild guess out there and say it's going to...

I'm sure Tom will be colouring in 701006 before long, if not as we speak ! :lol::lol:

I do travel on them often, and it's concerning for a class this new that I've seen both of them out of use several times now.

Have to say, I've travelled on a worrying proportion of these that have had one or both toilets out of use. Not very encouraging for a brand new unit.
