That's the new First Class offering, yes.

Gorgeous coffee, far superior to the bigger names out there IMHO, but horses for courses I suppose.

I'm afraid I can't answer that then, having never been involved with TASS. Sorry.

There is a speed limiter fitted, which is adjustable via the TMS to suit the linespeed.

mods note - split from this thread Well, the 200° coffee, and the all butter shortbreads are absolutely banging! :smile:

ETCS receivers are currently operational on 810s purely for the "Goalkeepers" at Wistow, and Glendon, which are balises that automatically change power over from electric to diesel should the Driver fail to do so manually for whatever reason.

Woodcroft I believe.

No way of telling visually. If on the run off then happy days. If on the run in, then hope you can build enough momentum to carry you through, otherwise rules for "stuck in the dead section" will apply.

The one's at Oakley-Bedford area were never installed.

155ft is the length of a neutral section (in MML land at least) between the two APC magnets (that open, and close the VCB. Broken down, there is 100ft of live "run in" wire, 5ft of insulated wire, 5ft of earthed wire, then another 5ft of insulated wire, before 40ft of electrically live "run off"...

Those boards have now been removed. As the original introduction for the 810s was planned to take place before the wires south of Bedford were upgraded for 125 capability, the plan was to run on diesel from Bedford to Mill Hill area, where they would again change to electric for the last few...

Driver will switch to electric, and back to diesel in the Down direction, at Kilby Bridge where the Power Changeover boards are located.

I believe they are known as "Ditch Lights", and only flash alternately to give warning when approaching level crossings. Prior to this they used a "Marrs Light", which was a single light that pivoted in a figure of eight pattern. There are some YouTube videos demonstrating their action. Ditch...

I can assure you that all Drivers on a 360 course will be made aware of requirement to shut off power prior to entering a neutral. It's something I, personally, hammer home the importance of when delivering a course, as APC magnets, or on train receivers are not infallible. Training issue? No...

As a Midland man, I'd have to say MML, closely followed by WCML. Third place goes to GWML as my Paternal Grandfather was a GWR Driver. ECML in last place behind every other line in the country..... That's the Midland man in me coming out again!

As does Woodhouse and Dronfield. On the plus side, I'm working 1F00 tomorrow. Not a bad little diagram!

Tried it on a 360 once to see if it did knock the dynamic brake out. If it did I didn't notice much difference.

That's a strange one. I drove HSTs with EMT/EMR for years, and I've never had the brakes go on, on the occasions I've deemed it appropriate to apply the DRA on the move. Brake release is also possible with the DRA applied, hence the extra vigilance necessary to ensure it is reset before...

003 was on the Service Platform (7) 16.30ish.

Just to add to previous answers, whilst it is permissible to set the DRA before coming to a stop in the platform, be aware that on some traction, setting the DRA may render the dynamic brake inoperative, so you will be relying on discs and pads only. I seem to remember 323s were affected by...
