I've definitely seen one at Swindon before on a Westbury service.

How much is the time saving expected to be between Totnes and Penzance?

Could a reversal at Trowbridge be done easily?

This may seem like an unrealistic idea at the moment but in the future would it be worth reinstating the short section of track at Bradford Jn linking Melksham and Bradford-on-Avon? Subject to the success of the TransWilts improved service, surely a direct route between Melksham and Bristol/Bath...

When I went to Hampton Court we changed at Reading, Virginia Water, Weybridge and Surbiton.

Or could it be jointly operated by EMT from Nottingham and Norwich end and Northern/TPE from the Manchester and Liverpool end?

I've always wondered if it makes sense for the Norwich-Liverpool to go to Northern. If so a few EMT crew at Nottingham could transfer to Northern also working the Leeds services. Or use Sheffield crew? Would this be more efficient for Northern? Without splitting the service it doesn't really...

Do Northern have any crew at Nottingham?

It's because there's not enough capacity currently for the stoppers and the inter-city services so the halts get missed out.

Has anyone ever done a really bad one, ie got a train at Taunton by mistake and ended up in Reading, King's Cross and York or Euston and Warrington for example?

Yes they will ask for an example of when you have delivered excellent customer service and a time where you have had to persuade someone to your point of view. They asked me for a second example of each as well.

Long rock (Penzance) Par Crew Depot Exeter TMD Laira (Plymouth) St Phillip's Marsh (Bristol) Westbury Crew Depot

You will be lucky to find a service calling at all those stations on the outbound and return trips.

Any light on what EMUs will operate on the electrified MML? I personally suspect the 225s from EC with 387s for Corbys and possibly a few SET bi-modes?

Unless LO 172s go to Ashford-Hastings and the 171s go on Uckfield-London Bridge?

They will probably ask for an example of when you have given good customer service and an example of when you have had to persuade someone to see your point of view.

As a rule take driver's words with a pinch of salt until officially confirmed.

From that post if it is cheaper to order new EMUs then the end is near or convert to Mk3 rolling stock.

How much does it cost to put trains in storage? As it would seem a waste of money to store them then scrap them. Either we need to refurbish them and put them back into service for 20 years or scrap them. At only 25 years old it would seem a waste and they probably have a few years of life left...

The 66 is a high growth and very profitable route! With housing developments in Faringdon and Southmoor Stagecoach and Oxfordshire Council need to improve transport links to cater for projected demand.
