Looks like it. Seems the whole diagram cancelled today as a result unless they can get another loco hauled set or unit to deputise. Ironically on a day the first 90 - 90015 announced as going off lease.

So no spare unit today then?

As a passenger I find them cleaner and more like a 'new' train - despite a sight worsening in ride quality. But the majority of blame for poor ride had to be pointed at Network Rail. The Renatus units run fine on good tracks. In contrast the original units are tired and in a terrible state...

Reports that four units 002 - 007 - 009 and 010are out today on the 05.00, 06.00 06.48 and 07.40 diagrams starting from Norwich.

The Renatus units are very clean and bright on board of course..i can understand people mistaking them for new..

Was the 05.00 a 745 today?

How many 745s in service today? Did 009 make the 05.00 from Norwich?

How many diagrams will that be now? Is it 4 or 5 now? I am counting the 05;00 06:00 06:48 and 07:40 from Norwich. Any i have missed?

Oh yes. Plenty of 379s found on Cambridge fasts and stoppers. Seen quite a few 317s on Stansteds recently. The sooner they get rid of 317s the better. Awful rolling stock. Well past its sell by date. Had the pleasure of a 379 on a Stratford to Meridian Water shuttle too recently. Lol.

Looking at it logically, 317s have to go off-lease ASAP because they are not PRM compliant. So the 379s displaced by 745 are most likely to take over 317 diagrams until sufficient 720s come into service to take over those diagrams. And as far as I'm aware the 379s are signed by all West Anglia...

What a shame :D

Absolutely no chance of any class 86's being brought back onto Anglia. They were falling to bits and going bang the last time round - which was why the 90s were brought in. Worst case it will be short form Renatus 321s Next people will be talking about bringing class 47's back in They can...

Thanks Just 2N40 then pls. Time is wrong.

Hi Does anyone know what was on 26/2/2020 9R56 1143 Paddington to Reading, 2N40 1427 Didcot to Paddington. 1 Feb 2020 1C19 5:00 Paddington to Bristol T.M thanks in advance

It is more likely that some additional 317s could be transferred from WA once the 745/1s enter service. Especially as there seem to be GEML drivers trained on them already.

Are 755s cleared for passenger service south of Colchester? Either that or it was 4 coaches locked out of use. Or a 321 being terminated early.

Any chance all four will be diagramed out tomorrow?

Are all depots trained fully on them now?

It is reported 006 is out today now. Was that to replace 002? Or is it on a new diagram? Did 002 make it out again?

How many sets / units needed for a full Norwich to London diagram?
