which brings us back to regen braking especially on 323s and during leaf fall on the Lickey - is it a real effect this autumn?? It would be interesting to monitor a few traction motor currents...

Is the regen braking on the 323s helping on the Lickey now we're well into the leafy season?

there are recent postings on youtube for a 323 and a 170 climbing Bromsgrove to Barnt Green, but haven't found one for a voyager 220 yet (do XC even do stops at Bromsgrove any more)

Which has a better performance up the Lickey, A TYPE 220 VOYAGER OR a 323 What about when the leaves fall? Im guessing that the 323s have a better distribution 0f powered and unpowered axles?? I gather the leaf fall timetable is now in operation for a couple of months on Cross City

hmm cautionary tale ... the local domestic power comes tnto our village ( Thornbury South Glos) ...at 3 phase 11kv. but 1 phase went intermittent the other day and and didn't trip cleanly - hot wires flouescents and leds have different turn on at different thesholds it would appear - so...

but don't forget Cheltenham. alma mater mea {I could have been a judge but I didn't have the latin)

centro worcester county and friends and their precursors and succesors in title? aka Transport for West Midlands the partnership got the lickey done, albeit slowly - pity there isn't another soft target nearby to aim for

well Birmingham has set quite a good example in municipal transport quite a bit of it of late on the public purse

shutting down this thread is very premature - given the unique features I would expect it to be a valid read for at least a year...

earlier in the year there was reported to be a shortage of 323s - has that resolved itself??

any role for say a type 92 as a banker??

gone very quiet ... is the 29th still the intended date for commercial 323s PS will there be any electric freight facilitated by the route up the lickey either with or without use of bimodes, or any use of electric bankers

so, but still no commercial rocket rides up the the Lickey until Christmas??

bob But meanwhile theres rumour on Electric Railway Soc that full timetable is deferred to Chistmas...

In the meantime it would be excellent if Tom Stobs could archive his picture at Vigo taken on the 20th may with eg the main lickey article on wikipedia - its already a piece of history - and surprisingly pretty bob

keith posts as melmerby on rmweb I think . The post includes a side panel giving details of 323 runs from sunday 29th july on
