    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    There just doesnt seem to be any progress. The number in actual service is in a permanent range now of 47-51 units every weekday. Very unsatisfactory that after everything we’ve been through in this rollout we are still having services cancelled almost daily, too, because of rolling stock...

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    I wonder when we will finally get 53 701 diagrams in one day. Hopefully soon. Maybe the maintenance backlog will be caught up now holidays are over. and we should see 029 take a bow soon, too. 1788935322 Today’s 10 absentees: 001 010 016 020 024 025 026 038 051 054 which leaves 48 diagrams

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    I don't think its just a case of legthening some services from 8 to 12. There are still a few 444 diagrams running as single 5 cars and when they are paired up will need to be replaced with 2 or 3 450 diagrams.
