Any hints of when a 68/mark 5A pairing will be seen running to Middlesbrough? Or is it a case of only when they enter service?

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's the Mark 5A/68 layout. I'm interested in seeing why there are single standard seats in coaches B, C and D myself. (B65, C01 & D01)

In response to those queries about the internal layout:

How long are the platforms at Stourbridge Town and Junction Stations?

A circuit breaker may have tripped out for a variety of reasons. They don't get reset unless someone tells the traincrew and it gets reported to the appropriate maintenance person. Few passengers actually bother to report they're not working in my experience.

It seems to be booked standing time at a number of TPE calling points. Are they testing the ASDO by any chance?

*poker face* Of course I for one am shocked. SHOCKED that this has been abandoned... On a more serious note, this article makes interesting reading. www.gizmodo.co.uk/2019/02/government-scraps-plans-for-5g-train-trials/

Plenty of diversion routes that get used day in day out for route retention purposes on the North Route. Especially Middlesbrough services that go via Dinsdale.

Also, just to remind some folks. Caledonian Sleeper has existed under 3 different franchises. Scotrail (National Express) Scotrail (First group) Caledonian Sleeper (Serco) Some of you are only counting it twice

Ok. I think Manchester Piccadilly has 15? (Unless I've missed any?): Virgin Trains (West coast) Virgin Trains (Cross-country) Cross Country (Arriva) Midland Mainline East Midlands Trains Central Trains First North Western Arriva Trains Northern First/Keolis Transpennine Express First...

Hmm. SPT runs the Subway, but only the first and last trains are actually tinetabled. But still... they ARE timetabled. Verdict: It is allowed.

A diet? Correct me If I'm wrong anyone, but didn't they get even heavier after being refurbed?

EMT also visit York ;)

Which Anglia franchise was branded as "One"?

A variation on one that keeps popping up every now and again. Which stations have had the most TOC's ever since privatisation? Including past and present operators. Rules: Must have operated a time-tabled service that was or is for use of any member of the public. (Charter trains excluded) and...

The machine on platform 16 has bottles of coke promoting the forthcoming 2016 European Cup tournament. (unless I'm mistaken, in which case it's for the 2012 cup!)

All the Conductor competency managers are gone now. They were the ones reminding us to do them. Most guards forget to make them now. (I freely admit I sometimes forget too!)

The door issue (on any kind of cant) on 185's happens randomly at multiple stations such as Garforth, Slaithwaite, Batley and Cottingley. (The doors will often only open by a couple of inches and won't spring open the rest of the way fully. This doesn't happen to all doors, just enough to keep...

I get that a lot of the issues with adding diesel engines to modernish EMU are related to the distribution of necessary equipment under each of the vehicles. Would it be feasible to take an EMU such as a 350 (just as an example) and add 1 or 2 center vehicles from another unit. These vehicles...

I may have missed it if it has already been posted somewhere - but is there a layout map of the TPE 802's? (Assuming it might be different to the LNER 5 cars)
