Three cars of 720516 were being shunted alongside the main line at Longsight this morning, so it may be in the process of being formed into a complete 5-car unit for testing. It has been undergoing retrofit work in the Electric Traction Depot.
Just saw this tweet and came searching to find out why it there, any ideas?

Indeed, my last record of it was on the 1st February 2024 when I caught wind of it having moved to Ilford EMUD for what I presume to be some form of static testing. Prior to that I had it down as having done some mainline testing in October 2023On ukraillog.co.uk it says it's at Ilford, but still on testing.

Progress on entry into service seems to have slowed down. Perhaps we are scraping the bottom of the barrel of easily fixed units ?. Maybe the newest units are missing parts used on fixes to earlier built units ?.

Any idea when it was first seen (roughly) and whether it remains at Derby now please?Roaded from Derby to Worksop and back to Derby, various carriages seen split up around Derby Works.
No specific date, but certainly last year, and yes it’s at Derby, a number of coaches split up were seen on weekend of 9th March.Any idea when it was first seen (roughly) and whether it remains at Derby now please?
