At least it gives a sort of warning. A 700, which is Baliase driven for SDO, doesn't tell you the doors won't open until you're basically there!

Generic for all Electrostars. The "Short Station" is driven by MITRAC Database and GPS. The train only knows its next station has a short platform but cannot know which platform it is for. The GPS tells the train it's within a radius of the station. What allows the, say all 8 coaches, to open...

Yeah, AFAIK, didn't the 379 also loose it's MCM (Motors) in the MOSL? So there was a loss of available traction power?

Depends what PIS system the train uses and if a Code is programmed or available for such a Stopping Pattern... If not, then the Guard or Driver should be making PAs.

Usually, the Rolling Stock Owner/ Builder or Trainers from TOCs with Experience and Documentation of the Unit/Loco. There's a lot of background work that goes into the creation of Training Material and we rely on a lot of resources to make it happen.

They wont, if the Track isn't clear for 3rd Rail Either... NR like them removed!

All GN Drivers are trained. 1749133296 Most likely!

They should all be turned but guessing for whatever reason a couple haven't been. I'd imagine the need for service is greater than a turning move, which will eventually happen.

Does appear the 1800 was booked a 379 that had a problem. 1T48 ran as far as Cambridge. So guessing a Crew issue. Now I couldn't sat there's no trains from Cambridge North in that hour...

There were issues on the GN this morning, unrelated to 379s, which caused delays and thus cancellations/ cut shorts.

... Well it was always the plan but the recommissioning has taken longer, due to X, Y & Z. Modifications were required to make these run on the Cambridge & Kings Lynn sections, so nothing could be done until this work was completed and tested reliably.

Tracklink 3. So far the testing has gone well on the TL3 system on 379s. So will be phased to update the 379 fleet. MITRAC SDO is GPS based, within an area of the station, hence why it cannot do doors per platform length (where mixed) or announce separetly. This makes Tracklink 3 a...

Surely this is aimed at 2 Markets. Brighton to Birmingham and then say Reading to York & Newcastle (XC competition). But using 1 service. I doubt many would actually do End to End.

Not long enough according to the Sectional Appendix

They platform needs the tests it wasn't able to have done before... Lighting, SDO, etc.

Sounds like every rolling stock manufacturer! ;)

The 700 went into Long Term "Storage" as it had a motor flashover. Wasn't repairable at Three Bridges, so a solution had to be planned, and ended up at Eastligh. Not quite the same....

Not only that, as mentioned previously, the IET is proven product on the ECML. They do not need to go through as many hoops as a new train to introduce them. It makes total business sense. Even down to Stop Car Marks at stations, which are available and in place for 5 car IETs. 1743796012...

In Hornsey Depot. Sidings are numbered 1 (in this case) being closest to the mainline. Numbered Sidings are known as "Roads" for ease of locating.

Absolutely, whilst the IET is bland, its a proven product on the ECML, you can see why any "Long-Distance" operator would select them!
