Not to mention the degree of route knowledge required here.
And, to be fair to TPE, they were having to cope with COVID at the same time (both the restrictions and the effects on passenger demand).
Surely the reduced services during Covid would enable them to have more time and resource for training?

Some tocs couldn't train due to 1 person in the cab rules.

They were also trying to introduce more than just the new M5a sets at the same time, too.
