    AWC CAR-OXN Auto announcments for TPE services

    Information screens are being renewed at Avanti operated stations (Preston was done a couple of months ago I think). Setting this up on older screens in the advent of replacement would mean configuring it twice, effectively paying twice, so this would be straightforward once all of the stations...

    Are PIS malfunctions monitored?

    The simple answer is yes, even if screens appear to have had issues for a longer period of time. These things are picked up through service quality audits as well as whether it’s picked up by conductors on the platform.

    If a political party leader was an item of rolling stock, which class would they be?

    Rishi would be an Agusta Westland AW109!

    Constraint on TPE orientation information?

    Good point - Manchester Victoria is lacking too as it's on a different system and currently can't reach the data available.

    Constraint on TPE orientation information?

    It should be on station information boards as the data is now received the same as the TPE app. Is there a particular station where it doesn’t appear to be doing this?

    Out of all rolling stock existing today, which do you think will survive the longest?

    I think it also depends on investment as well as reliability those few decades later. I can see some of the Stadler fleets knocking around in the 2050s.

    Raising the alarm when witnessing a crush at a station

    At these stations there should always be someone on the Network Rail desk, but out of hours would be via any help points provided around the station or dial 999 if an emergency situation and seek contracted staff on site

    Trivia: Slowest and fastest services on UK rail network

    From York to Kings Cross the fastest services are pathed to take 110m, so I make that 102.8mph. Similarly, it's 107m from Warrington BQ to Euston and I make that 101.7mph.

    TfW withdrawals (Now just 150/158s to go)

    Posted this in the earlier 175 thread by accident but there's apparently a future for the 175s but unconfirmed what that is https://twitter.com/shaunontrains/status/1659864787709313024

    Thameslink and Crossrail with their 8/12 and 7/9 car trains respectively. In regards to short formations, let's not forget the 139 fleet!
