Alas, we already have Northern using ”Multi Mode Unit” for the Class 15x replacement fleet.A MMU (Multiple Multiple Unit)?

Real-time train running information for 5Q59 0838 departure from Merchant Park Sidings to Etches Park Sdgs on 05/05/2026. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.www.realtimetrains.co.uk
7 units currently with in the test shed (4 roads each capable of 2 units), and an unknown amount in the storage building next to it.
OK thanks, maybe more schedules will be made in the coming days then, presuming 020 will be next out
Not seen 020 for a few weeks, seen 022 outside doing static tests recently. Although that doesn't mean anything regards which is next.
Maybe holding back from overloading Etches Park with units as no more diagrams can go over to 810 operation until multiple working gets approved?
Maybe, wouldn’t that mean they then have to wait on the 222s leaving, which aren’t going anywhere for a bit I believe (even though 104 is out of service)
will that be over half of them then?
Once 020 is with us it'll be a third of the fleet delivered (excluding 008/009)
Are they not just the crew training paths?
Some point soon 017 should be caught up with all the others ready to be delivered to Etches, still have no clue why it’s still falling behind with production at merchant.
It's out of production and has been for several week.
It's not falling behind at all. From what I gather it will still be a while before it's completed and delivered but it's still on schedule
Yeah, although I believe 810006 is having repairs after a fatality last month, and 810011 seems to be out of commission for a bit too, not sure why though. EMR also like to use a passenger-ready unit for the driver training on 3A2X runs (like 810016 today), suddenly you're back down to 7 units, which makes 8 diagrams not likely until they get another unit (unless they decide to use 810008/9 only for driver training and no other units, freeing up a unit for PAX working) and even then, they'll only likely move up to 7 diagrams at most to allow for maintenance of a unit, so until they get more units or 810006 and 11 can be fixed up, i doubt they'll start up a new flow just yet, maybe after 810020 is delivered though in a few weeks (hopefully).
I just alighted at Chesterfield. One door manually released by guard.
One door on Coach C was Manually Released
Oh well, suppose that’s the end of the day for 019 then…
Set 019 showing as heading to London
Thats officially 11/33 accepted. About time to start the 6th diagram.
Yeah 011 has been a long term absentee for some few months.
Was that 810019 first day in service?
