First 379 has been booted out of Worksop https://partimespotter.wordpress.com/2024/04/24/379-news-1/

seen a photo of 90033 on a lowloader anyone know whats happened with it?

From what I heard from a feedback on 720s presentation 3 more are about to enter service imminently and the rest should be in service by 2025 iirc

Most network rail owned and managed stations you see are manned until midnight or in a few cases 24 hour

IC70s are alright seats however on the low side etc. I feel legroom wise the 745/755 airline seats is on the small side whilst the 720s are decent. Seats are good on both but 730s score better than the 720s obvs cause 2+2 etc

iirc is that 455865?

Theres an image floating around that a 455 has gone in BR blue

By any chance has the mainline driver training started yet or no?

It seems from what I been told that it should take 10 days for tables to be fitted on the 745s owing that they are doing it at Orient way with 1 carriage a night being done.

Apparently from what I'm hearing 455 is being repainted into BR blue? Is that correct or too early to tell?

at the start probably 6 or more months for the pilot unit refurbs then every 2 weeks a unit i imagine

doubt battery conversions are on the table with other trains that were converted and unreliable etc even with high costs included

From when I used to go on them they do have different padding

GA can just use the 720s since they have enough to cover most of the lines

Toilets, 2+2 vestibule seating on 720118 onwards essentially

509 was the latest iirc

Does it mention a date. Love the "scrap them" joke

With the 379s being OOS for nearly 2 years would the lease be cheaper now or no?

From what I heard there is a plan for tables to be fitted on the SSD 745s but it's if GA funds it.

Any updates regarding this?
