    Transfer of TPE 350/4s to West Midlands Trains (LNR)

    Our diagrams say DISP. We then check with the signaller if an isolation is occuring, if so and in addition to securing the unit you pan down and battery off and that's it, as the unit fully powers down after *90 minutes (by that time I'm fast asleep) *so I was taught, never checked though.

    Transfer of TPE 350/4s to West Midlands Trains (LNR)

    To dispose of a 350 (as traincrew) in an OHLE isolation we pan down and battery off, no messing in cupboards and tripping of 32f10.

    Yeah, there is a time period (2 years?) and you only have one lateral move for your time at the company and successive franchises.

    Class 172 Refurbishment/Snow Hill Capacity

    It'll be alright from 2026 (on the same weekend as HS2 opens) as the line will have been double tracked and the single line sections will no longer cause pathing issues. Only 7 years of heavily delayed trains to endure......

    Class 172 Refurbishment/Snow Hill Capacity

    I don't believe the ex Overground 172s are going on the Nuneaton - Leamington route, current WMR gangway class 172s are.

    Creation of class 230 DEMUs from ex-LU D78s by Vivarail

    As far as I am aware the unit is still not main line certified. I have been led to believe the trials may possibly be from March 2017, whether this is passenger trials or the start of driver training I am unsure. It would only be link 1 drivers at Coventry that would sign the unit. The training...

    Creation of class 230 DEMUs from ex-LU D78s by Vivarail

    I would assume there is some truth in it too, but, there also has to be work done to the yard or other units displaced. As units can only be stabled on roads 1 & 2 currently.

    Creation of class 230 DEMUs from ex-LU D78s by Vivarail

    The yard has had surveys done and information regarding signal positioning has appeared on the rails. I have seen a document that shows the new Yard and dimensions of Kemp's road (bay platform) signal positioning and routing of the various roads in the yard. Unless extra work is done to the...

    Creation of class 230 DEMUs from ex-LU D78s by Vivarail

    There is currently no room in Coventry North Yard for a class 230 as it currently stables 3x350 and 2x323 plus a 153. On roads 1 & 2. Other future problems would be the work being done on the North Yard in preparation for the bay platform.
