Wasnt the May 2018 only 4tph weekdays? I don’t remember it being 4tph on Saturdays at any point

The two on the east side have been like that for months, I thought it was something to do with the building work going on to the south east of the footbridge.

Believe there’s two 717s to Letchworth in passenger service, the last two Hertford Loop trains from Moorgate at night (the very last being from KX), don’t think there are any southbound passenger 717s from Letchworth though.

That’s what our system says, I didn’t see it with my own eyes

Friday

Pair of 379s as well - 379006 and 379014 I believe

Where have people heard back from? Just Cambridge?

It doesn’t any more, and the paths got used by a new southeastern service in May 2023.

There you go

It was the May 2023 timetable change when the number of 700/0 diagrams on GN went from 8 to 4. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/may-2023-changes.239045/post-6209982

When did you notice that being a regular occurrence? I remember a lot was done to reduce the 700/0s mileages in either the May or Dec 23 timetable change.

One more thing: London Kings Cross is now shown as a limited service route. Even though 700s are still used on the Cambridge to London Kings Cross services, they were rebranded to GN last year.

Noticed these today on 700009, main changes I can see are: - Cambridge South “COMING SOON” - Brent Cross West - Luton Dart - Elizabeth Line - Removal of Littlehampton services - Removal of Ashford “Services for this route are being planned” line

ASDO is already implemented either by GPS, or at stations where different platforms have different lengths and also within the core, by use of balise. All that was required for BCZ was an update of the database. All other stations they stop at regularly (including up to Kings Lynn) are already...

ASDO on 700s uses GPS at stations where all platforms are the same length

The escalators were on at 3am a couple nights ago, they drop into a basically stopped state though before you get on. Worth noting that all the stations along this route are 24/7 and seem to have handled the issues above, although most others are smaller.

West London Orbital

Why did/do the 319s have front doors but the 700s don’t require them when they run the same route?

Yes ATO would disengage as soon as it was moved out of off. You’d then be in manual ETCS level 2. If you knocked it it would probably be in to the brake position, if you knock it into traction ATO cuts off and the driver must move back to off to then take traction again

Yes, training started in 2018, all new drivers must sign it. If a driver is trained on ETCS they have to use it over AWS/TPWS, but there is no requirement to use ATO if trained in ETCS, although most do. It’s probably about 50/50 AWS/TPWS and ETCS at the moment if I had to take a guess...
