    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Six in service units not allocated to diagrams this morning. 002 010 016 020 025 038 When taken with the still to debut 028 and 029 that suggests 52 701 diagrams today. Maybe a new record?

    Seven in service units have not been allocated to diagrams this morning: 002 010 019 020 022 025 038 Plus, of course, 028 and 029 which are yet to enter passenger service. That makes 51 in service this morning I think.
