unsure whether it’s related to the incident however 387101 is allocated today:

Great news if 101 is indeed finally back in passenger traffic.

RTT showing as cancelled....
Suspect it was a RTT error as 101 is sitting in the same siding as it has for several weeks now with the pantograph down. Additionally, no Drivers have been briefed on the new cab layout and how to operate it. I’m also unaware of it even going out testing on the ECML.

Thanks for confirming. I did have a feeling that this was too good to be true.

more likely to be a GN error then as the information on rtt is only as good as what the operator provides, same with set swaps and the operator not changing the allocation so we end up with 22 carriage avanti services

A couple of weeks ago it said 387101 was on a Moorgate service, but I'm guessing it meant 717001.

I've not been following this particularly well, but how has this unit been out of service for ~4 years? At this rate it could be upgraded/fixed faster by turning it into Botley Road (runs for cover)
