DRS-operated PLPR trains

[Townsend Hook]

Afternoon all,

The first DRS-operated Network Rail PLPR (plain line pattern recognition) test train is running today, 1Q50 1340 Derby RTC-Doncaster West Yard.

Formation should be two 37/0s and the PLPR4 formation.

Test train work is being opened up to other operators as well as Colas in a move to increase reliability; there were certain shifts Colas have been really struggling to cover.

PLPR4?

Plain line pattern recognition is my guess.

Plain line pattern recognition is my guess.

Yeah that's correct, perhaps it might be worth the OP updating the thread title so people aren't confused?
