Less than 3 hours until it's meant to be out and yet it's still not activated. Apparently it should be activated by around 5am. Prepared to eat my words.

When has any TOC "got their product right"? Even with their satisfaction rates I personally hate using C2C. Their interiors are garish early 2000s colour vomit and aren't really the most pleasant of PXes.

Are you absolutely sure it's running tomorrow? You said it was activated to run today but look at what happened.

CD/RA boxes are used when dispatching IETs.

Just got a text off Mark Harper, they're running a passenger service this evening but they're having issues getting it on the national timetable

It appears as though diagrams on Wednesday and Thursday are activated. Seems to be the opposite of what we've seen in the past, so they're really getting optimistic about this - assume they'll run unless said otherwise. This goes for all 2U91 diagrams, so take this as an "Earliest Opportunity"...

So we can rule out tomorrow then...

RTT doesn't like loop services

Interestingly it still lists it as Runs As Required on the Waterloo departure list tomorrow even if it looks like it's been activated on the actual 2U91 page

Booked 5Q31. We're not getting a service run today.

That is an interesting development!

With less than an hour until it's meant to be out, I highly doubt it will be today.

I believe that the DOO IETs out of PAD stop exclusively at platforms with dispatchers on anyway, so if done properly, at no point is any part of the PTI unsupervised by a competent member of staff. I think the point they were trying to make is that, despite countless setbacks and faults, GWR...

Not showing for me on RTT, still needs to be activated.

A lot of what I've read is "This guy from Staines", "I've heard this date being bounced around", never "So the date in my own brief is this". What's even more shocking is people on this forum encouraging somebody to board a unit despite it not even being on a passenger-carrying headcode. We...

Good god... Can we stop bouncing dates around unless we actually know? Over the past week we've had the following days listed: Thursday Friday Sunday Monday Tuesday This is getting ridiculous. Unless you yourself know what the dates are, which at the moment nobody here does, you're in no...

I'd always thought that vehicles that used bonded style glazing, like the 460s or early Electrostars, didn't use double glazing. Wasn't sure about the Aventras even though I'm aware they use gasket glazing... Probably stems from the fact that I grew up around bus people and trains were always a...

Yep! Only ever seen that on the Desiros, never the Junipers. I can assure you that's not a typo!

While we're on the subject of the condition & quality of stock, any word on if the 701s have double glazing? The 450s' double glazing is often leaky and I wouldn't be surprised if all the argon had leaked out, I often find SWR stock on the Reading and Windsor Lines to be quite cold and I've seen...

On a 10 coach train at the rear, it still shows the length! :D
