as did the 2SAPs used on Windsor/Weybridge services for some years. BILs (and later CORs) were used on the Reading (and Aldershot) line until replaced by CIGs and VEPs (all of which had toilets).

Only 5 car routes were planned to be the likes of Ascot to Farnham and Guildford to Aldershot. Part of the issue with the cabs was that 2* 5 car had to be effectively identical to a 10 car in platform postioning.

Service status alerts for Underground and Overground, along with calling points, individual coach loading etc. all appear on the transverse screens above the door areas (i.e. so that they can be seen by the whole coach).

Today's 1025 cancelled - waiting for train preparation or completion of TOPS list (RTT)

they are advertised in that they appear on customer information screens at stations.

Worth adding here that a couple of electric buses have caught fire recently. Luckily no one hurt, I think.

I understand that 017, 031, 042 (in that order) will be the next sets into public service, after checks and a trial run. 1707250119 Yes they are. Although like the Anglia class 720 sets the water is too close to the front of the basin and so gets too easily onto the floor. And several Anglia...
