220001 formation?

[voyagerdude220]

Hi all,

I've just randomly noticed on Trust that Voyager 220001 appears to have an anomaly in it's formation at the moment:

60301
60727
60201
60401

What's happened with 60701 vehicle? Am I right to assume 60727 is from 22027- is 027 also out of service or is this also using vehicles from another 220/221?

Thanks.

220027 hasn't been out since May, and having seen a video of 220001 from a few days ago, can confirm it has 60727 in it.

Seems to be a recent thing as 220001 still had 60701 in it just a month ago.

Not that strange. Reformed sets - both temporary and permanent - have been a thing probably since multiple units were invented.

If you have two sets, each with defective cars that are long-term stopped it makes sense to make one good set to get it back into traffic.

I believe 220027 is a long term stopper needing a new cab. Car 60701 in 220001 also has significant problems so CA have swapped he 607xx cars over so that when 220027 gets repaired they will need to fic 60701 in it.

Thank you for that.
