They weren't available when the 360's were confirmed, but IIRC they had become available by the time the 360's actually appeared on the route - and had no future use planned. The EMR stock plans in their franchise bid were, to put it politely, optimistic, and the introduction of the 360's was...

Suspected by who?

According to the online sectional appendix copies, there is 135m available for (the now normal) Eastern side on Platform 7, so an 810 should fit. An 810 is only about 4m longer than a 5 car 222, so pretty much all the places the 222's fit should also take 810's.

But that isn't something that could be done tomorrow as suggested.

But removing driving vehicles will remove capacity? According to that thread there are currently 140 driving vehicles in use, this reform idea would have 54 of them put out to pasture, along with all the seats and standing room they currently convey - that is absolutely a reduction in capacity...

What voyager reform could you do tomorrow that a) reduces emissions and b) maintains capacity?

I'm sure that's what every rolling stock manufacturer has believed since mass production started. You only have to look at the work needed to fit retention toilets, or air conditioning, or to remove the shops from Voyagers, to realise that what seems obvious and complete at original design time...

You should assume that they can check all purchases regardless of supplier. GDPR does not restrict data shared for the prevention or detection of crime, which is what such a request would be about. All retailers have to keep a record of transactions, so Uber will have the data available to share...

It's far from unusual for new office air con installs to start dripping on the first really hot day of the year. Don't see why a train would be any different.

There are plenty of people right now chancing travelling on just a reservation code in order to avoid paying their correct fare. Just because you made a genuine mistake doesn't mean that every person in the same situation is so innocent, many are doing it deliberately. The railway has no way...

It's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy though - if he hadn't authorised the purchase of the bimodes, he wouldn't have been able to cancel the electrification past Corby - while it might not be finished all the way to Sheffield yet, it would be significantly further north and the 222's would...

Contact the organisers about assistance - there will almost certainly be a seated area provided for those who can not stand for the duration of the concert - it's generally a term of the venue (temporary or permanent) licence to provide such a space - and with a clear enough view of the stage...

The 7 car sets are the ones planned to leave first.

As above it looks fairly legit - to the point I would be wanting to contact them to find out what's occured. Whatever you do - do not reply to that email directly, or use any of the contact details contained within the email or letter. Use independently looked up contact details to do it - such...

Midland Mainline - the TOC, not the route - didn't operate non-IC services, so naturally it's 170's weren't used on non-IC services - which is what @Dr Hoo was saying. The 170's were widely used on the Liverpool-Norwich route, and made regular appearances on many other East Midlands routes. To...

Central Trains had it's own batch of brand new 170s they used for non IC services in the East Midlands. The claim was not that the MML franchise has never had new non-IC stock, as that would make little sense with it previously being IC only.

Only if you don't count the original deployment of 170s

Much of the detail is not in the public domain, but it's worth remembering that these facilities were built in the post-war period, and operated throughout the cold war, and was designed and engineered with that in mind. In the past there was a fairly well known line that Radio 4 (as is now)...

If it goes to court, barring any exceptional procedural issues, you will be found guilty - and be fined, have to pay costs to the operator and get a criminal record. The charges that are laid before the court in these types of cases require no intent to be proved, and are therefore very simple...

One of the requirements for the MML bimodes was that they could match the 222 timings while running on diesel. The existing 80x platform couldn't do this, hence leading to some pretty extensive redesign work.
