Many thanks for the reply. A visit soon to the I.O.W looks good.She just started test runs today, but will presumably need a certain number of fault free miles before entering service. https://www.facebook.com/groups/355569249197459/posts/684461569641557/
In other news, 001-4 have all now received 5G antennas above each cab as fitted to some of the 483s a few years back - more testing or is Island Line going to get full 5G wi-fi?

Our rail-5G antenna have been spotted on another train and line, any guesses where this is? #rail5G #superfasttrainwifi #sustainabletransportwww.linkedin.com
I was just thinking that. Probably rare to see staff other than swr/nr driving on IOW?Many thanks for the reply. A visit soon to the I.O.W looks good.
Off the top of my head, I would say only if you are lucky with their positioning around the depot. Several visits at the end of the morning peak and either side of the afternoon one might increase you chances, but if one is inside all day, you will probably be out of luck. That said, I haven’t been past St John’s Road for quite a few weeks.Planning a visit to the Isle of Wight, is it possible to view or identify all 5 units in a single visit?
Thanks for any assistance.

A southbound train suffered a broken window, apparently between Smallbrook and Brading. After a short delay at Brading station, it was allowed to continue to Shanklin, but was then taken out of service, meaning its return working was cancelled.On my journey back, after a mooch around Ryde I got back to Esplanade only to be informed that the train back along the Pier was cancelled due to vandalism. So unexpectedly had to take a very brisk walk along a very long pier.
Or even an integrated public transport network.It would be nice to see these trains going further afield on the Island, giving it a modern transport system and offering healthy competition for the private bus monopoly.
