Just thinking, it’s been a while since I’ve had a proper look at where all the 810s are and in what state they’re in, I’ve been seeing plenty a schedule made for a move from Merchant Park -> Long Marston, however not much into Etches, and also not really been keeping tabs on how many of these services have ran and what unit has ran them. Does anyone have an up-to-date list of where all the units are and in what state they’re in?

30th July - 810020 Merchant Park to Long Marston.

10th August - 810017 Merchant Park to Long Marston.

19th August - 810003/004 Old Dalby to Merchant Park.

27th August - 810019 Old Dalby to Etches Park.

As far as I'm aware all the other paths that were scheduled for Merchant Park to Etches Park never ran.

Presume 810003+004 are "empty" and will need interiors installed and all the latest software uploaded before they leave Merchant Park ?

Where did the Elstow victim get moved to ?

Thanks for the update

Wasn’t 810002 the one with bad welding which was returned to Italy (Pistoia) for assessment?

No, it was sent to Italy as part of the testing programme (climate testing) and then disappeared.
Many rumours from several sources saying it has been scrapped and a new unit being built.

810018 has an issue with its brakes, which caused it to block the Down Fast for a period of time.

Once it was able to get moving again, it was signalled over to the Down Slow, for it to be looked at further whilst platformed at Kettering.

However, it has now failed once again with its brake issues and has not even managed to reach Kettering.

Having a look at Real Time Trains for today, in addition to the above, it also seems that 810 010 failed at Chesterfield on 1C20 0732 Sheffield to St Pancras and 810 006 at Leicester on 1D96 2005 St Pancras to Nottingham Service. Is anyone able to verify? If so not a great day for the 810s.
