Well take from this what you will but 0700 off GLQ binned due to a failure 0715 off EDB is a double 170 with the front set having some tidy sounding flats There is some form of 385 sitting disgraced in the sidings at Linlithgow. Can't quite make out whether it's 4 or 7 coaches.

Well, of all the replies I didn't expect that one... Doh!

Hi folks, I've already lost tracks of what is doing what in terms of the E&G runs? Rare trip on there tomorrow so might pick my service Thanks

Unless I was seeing things there was a PC swap going on with the refurb set at Haymarket this morning. Looked like a non-refurb PC was backing down onto it.

I suppose when they considered any strategy for easing a PC back into regular service a full speed jaunt to the South wouldn't have been top of the list probably. Bit unfortunate though.

In fairness it was very much speculative when i first suggested it. Am equally surprised lol

I had a random thought the other night - would we ever see LNER nab one of the Spare SR 43s to cover for a tech failure potentially? Sure LNER have spares or would just move everyone onto the next service but thought did occur... would look a bit different for sure!

I can't make up my mind if these look tight or not! http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8608/15863847653_289d890e1d.jpg

Just a curiosity as obviously everyone sitting tight waiting for the first set to enter service, but any feeling for how far along they are in terms of completing the 2nd set? Or are we likely to see the first set provide further snagging after some revenue earning service first before we see...

Any word on what the refurb set is up to this week?

Is it just me that thinks not having dedicated thunderbirds for the HSTs is a wee bitty risky? (As things stand anyway)

When SR are chucking 158s on late afternoon Edinburgh-Aberdeen's (Fast Haymarket to Leuchars) with mezzanine style seating I.e standing on top of each other) you know this new stock is well needed. Although I believe this short form 2 v 3 is due to the blockade at Aberdeen?

So how many PCs are with scotrail now, both refurb and unrefurb

Looks very decent to be fair. Sooner they are up the road the better :)

Ah indeed I remember seeing pictures of that down south, and also for the sleeper down there. Quite the effort. It does seem a bit optimistic to have no ready means of recovery (both immediate and back to depot) available. Things can be sorted given time but may lead to lines being blocked for...

This seems to have gone a wee bitty quiet... anything doing?

Following on from the Glasgow test set sitting down last night, do I recall correctly that the recovery plan for HSTs is to grab the nearest freight loco for assistance? Be interesting to see how that plays out I think, given a burst 170/158 can usually be nudged out of the way by a following...

The pressure placed on stock utilisation by the lateness of the 385 is maybe due to ease off given the good news on the 385s and the 365s now in service. If the HSTs are heavily delayed is that pressure likely to return if more 170s are due off lease (bit ignorant of what goes when)

So, any coaches on the horizon...
