Thanks , In general though is there a specific way you keep track or is it just a case of knowing where it is currently and checking if it's moving on a given day?
The only unit out on network is 810001.

All other units remain at factory under going static testing.

Regards 001, it can operate at any time on the Dalby Test, that won’t show up on any websites.

If you see Old Dalby to Peterborough, and then Peterborough to Newark 5Qxx paths on real time trains then, 99% it will be 810001.

I remain unconvinced that having this looked at by a TSC would do anything either in this particular case or for any subsequent rolling stock orders.
Maybe but there is large amount of passenger benefit not being realised across multiple operators and this is costing someone serious money which can only drive up the cost of any future orders.
