Javelin Delivery Schedule

[LucaZone]

Hiya,

Ive noticed in Freightmaster gen that there are now two paths booked each week for the delivery of Javelin stock from Southampton to Ashford. However, these workings are not listed 'As Required' suggesting they are used every week.

I have been out a few times 'randomly' to see if these movements are taking place, and over the course of March not seen a Javelin delivered.

Does anyone know A] why the paths are not listed 'As Required' meaning they only get used when needed (maybe this is a freightmaster question); B] What the schedule of actual Javelin delivery is, or has been; C]How many of the 29 units is already in the country (the first was delivered way back in 2007!)

Cheers

C]How many of the 29 units is already in the country (the first was delivered way back in 2007!)

I believe there are now 11 units in the country, 395001-395011.

How come Hitachi can deliver 390s in the right order and Bombardier cant deliver 377/5s in order?!?! (if at all )

 

[Edvid]

Er.....Hitachi don't build 390s (and yes I do know what you meant )

395012 is now in the country. It got dragged to Ashford by 67001 last night/early this morning.

Sorry if sounds dump but are the units coming from Japan? :???: I am suprised there no photos of one being unloaded at Southampton.
