Construction progress: TPE 350/4

[snail]

Agreed, you can open the windows on 323s also if you feel necessary.

And that's a good thing?

The reason I thought it was 402 is I gathered TPE had not accepted it so I wondered if they were sending it back.

Is there any hard and fast news on what exactly is said by First TPE with regard to this particular unit ?

No idea. I'm only going by what's been said on here :/

350402 was in passenger service on the 15/01/14 doing the 10:08 Edinburgh to Manchester Airport service so its been accepted into the fleet.

I had my first proper look at a 350/4 last night on my way home: one was sitting in P10 of MAN at the end of service. Looks rather good, and I like the plain livery - if only they'd keep it! Didn't get to look inside, but it looked slightly more pleasant than the 185s, which I'm not overly keen on.

It is on the 0723 LAN-MIA this morning.

Now 350410 has arrived, do we know when the 350/3s will start coming?

First one due on or around 15th April.

If the thread title of "TPE 350/4 construction progress" is anything to go by, this thread is now not long for the world, unless a new title can be brought to bear.

I started one for the 350/3, sorry not sure how to link it.

Looks like a thread about Southern?

It's defiantly about the /3s it's just one poster has gone off topic

Not sure what it has to be defiant about!

 

[telstarbox]

I would have thought it much more likely that it was 350410 arriving. Why would one that has arrived previously be in the middle of a freight train?

Here's a link to the picture on SSC:

with my old flat in the background! Used to be able to see trains and trams from the window.

When is the increase to 5 diagrams supposed to occur?

 

[plastictaffy]

One of our reps was over looking at the /3's last week. 350368 was the unit he was poking around with. Assuming the numbering system starts where the mark 2's left off, that means there's at least 2 of them complete?? The last mark 2 was 266, I believe.

I think the last one was 267 (30x 350/1, 101-130; 37x 350/2, 231-267).

 

[Old Hill Bank]

The /3 thread is over here

And correct 267 exists

Already has. TPEs Facebook account confirmed this with the next increase in the May timetable change.

Thanks the 350 fleet on TPE will be quite intensively used by the sounds of things with 9/10 units being diagramed for service. All moving in the right direction

[ModernRailways]

Really don't like how the wrap goes right up to the front of the unit!

 

[Nym]

Eww, just ewww...

 

[sprinterguy]

Aargh! hock:

So First group have done it again, though I didn't previously think that it was possible: They've come up with a new variant on the corporate livery that's even worse than the last one, which was worse than the one before that, etc...

I suppose you could call it "distinctive", if you were really trying to be positive...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Anything is better that the boring "East German" plain grey livery that was being carried previously.

 

[Nym]

I actually liked the Siemens Grey...

 

[YorkshireBear]

See i like it
