Why aren't Rock Rail cancelling the order and ordering Desiros instead?

See this link @WesternLancer https://partimespotter.wordpress.com/2023/04/15/313-allocations-15-04-2023/ Do a 'Find in Page' or CTRL+F in this page for Seaford and you will find out. Thanks,

701033 was the test unit on 5Q51 yesterday

Many thanks guys :D

Hi all, At the southern end of Plymouth Station, there are two east-facing bay platforms occupying what appear to have been platforms 1 and 2. What are the official names of these sidings? they don't seem to appear on schedules as down sidings or platforms 1/2. Many thanks!

I’m hearing rumours about the Castles lasting until May 24 now, any truth in this madness?

Any ideas how long until 43184 comes back out? 1680876467 Never mind, on the move as: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:49375/2023-04-07/detailed 1680883423 Looks like 5Z43 and 5Z44 are pathed in for Monday. 0Z43 runs to Neville Hill tomorrow with 43184 and 43366. 184 on the north end.

The big bosses at GBRF clearly like 56s too much! On a more serious note, it will be interesting to follow those two since GBRF won’t want another micro fleet to deal with so could these be long term leased to other operators? (Colas)

This was 43184 and 43366 but it was cancelled at Exeter due to a stuck on (and then broken) horn (43184). I believe the OP paths will be cancelled.

This will be with coaches, Single or Double PCs run as a 0 headcode

All Vinyl

Yep, 69007 ran a test run from Tonbridge to Neasden and back as 0M66 and 0O40.

Are we any further forward with 701 roll outs or should we just look at them as a ‘Look at what you could have won’

Eight in traffic, 319010 is now 768001.

214, 217, 219, 220, 433, 457 are in traffic. 219 is currently dumped at Camden C.S. though.

I think these are mainly GBRF mileage accumulation runs on behalf of Alstom. I'm not sure what the state of training is but not much has taken place between Bletchley and Euston so far and I don't believe any 730s are at Wembley.

Will the 730s still replace the 319s this month or has it been pushed back?

Little bit disappointed with the route. I expected at least one London terminal or even the North London line but I understand the constraints. I guess the only time the 313s will return to the North London Line is when they are dragged to Newport.

DV is Dual Voltage DC is Direct Current (Third Rail)

The Dft certainly has an interesting way of managing their 'budget' since SWR and GA will both be swimming in Aventras when deliveries are complete.
