The trains are so busy its all about providing capacity, and on paper at least 3x350/2's is the highest capacity train that can be provided by the operator. In reality many of the middle seats are not used and the actual number of passengers seated would probably be comparable with putting 3...

It matters in as much as its an oddball when it comes to staff training, equipment, technical support etc. A single download card for the system costs north of £200 compared to a USB stick compatible with the Darec system on the other 350's and cloud based software on the 730's for example. The...

Indeed, internal refurbishment such as new carpets and seat covers, new PIS screens, units made DCO ready like the other sub-classes and so on. The first 10 mark 2's delivered were all brought in with no forward facing TV, this was retrofitted but the 2's as a whole all use internal CCTV hard...

Yes, 247 is down at Wembley off lease.

That is what is being planned for the Winter 25 diagrams going through scrutiny at the moment. 1Y27 is running as a 10 car today, 730205 and 730226

More introductions to come on the WCML with another two units out in service every fortnight. Work going on next to the Carriage Sidings at Bletchley to bring the old freight sidings into use as additional stabling locations for these longer units. Roads 6-8 of the carriage will also be...

There is an excellent database created by Ben Wright, the address i'm sure I lifted off here a couple of months ago, which gives pretty much the current state of play with regards to which are in service and which are not.... 205/10/11/12/13/15/16/17/18/20/24/26/30/31/32/33/34 and 235 are all...

I don't know how much slower it makes the 807's against the 390's due to the lack of tilt meaning they can't run at full EPS speeds in certain places.

Thankfully this was noticed on departure from New Street and the order in which the units went into platform 1 at Northampton was hastily swapped around meaning indeed the empty unit attached to the rear. The attachment went fine however there was some trouble with the interconnecting doors and...

Does appear that the restriction is on 10 car running north of Northampton, 5 cars are fine and are working services today.

as per post 354 which showed the 5Z45 path. Kings Heath to Wembley.

Class 360/2, built 2004/5, scrapped 2022.... 17/18 years old. Class 350/2, built 2008/9... 16/17 years ago. Would also guess that gangwayed stock is less desirable than non-gangwayed in the current climate.

Systems showing 252 and 256 are the units on the move today.

Plans to introduce 730/2's to Birmingham from w/c 15th September at the weekends, with M-F operation from w/c 29th September. 12 car 350 operation north of Northampton to Birmingham is also planned from this date. 10th November is the date now for planned introduction onto the Trent Valley...

The release program was tied in with the acceptance programme for the 730/2's, ie 1 for 1. The problem was that the 730's haven't come along as quickly as the dates that the 350's were committed to return so there is an imbalance at the moment whereby more have gone back than new trains...
