Thanks you just beat me to it.
Corby isn't the centre of the universe, but it does go to The Centre Of The Universe so considered extremely vital...
By that reckoning every town, village and sleepy little hamlet in the country ought to have it's own high speed route into London!
Wont it be quite a while....
The trains layout is completley different...
They painted one a week with the 5 and 7 cars. So I would have thought it would take less time to paint a 4 car.
Unless they are having other mods done while they are there.
Thats what I meant as in everythings different (layout, the shop thing etc)
I think there will be demand for a service. They must have done some sort of reasearch?
Isn't it the biggest place in Britain without a direct train to London (or is it just the biggest place in Britain without a train)?
Either way, it's a decent sized place.
I really liked the fHT livery...
Is it imperative they're reliveried before entering service? Simply covering up the First branding and adding EMT lettering would suffice for now?
We've got Sprinters and HSTs running around with the remnants of 5 or 6 different TOCs about the place!!
Why would they care? It's not their corporate livery!?Apparently First Group insisted they had to be painted before entering service.
Why would they care? It's not their corporate livery!?
Infact with their Pioneers gone, it's not a livery which is even active so to speak!!
Seems crazy when Northern and Arriva have trains running round in the First corporate livery!!
Could be because they still have 222104 in that livery and if anything happened with the trains that got bad press and a picture in the Hull Trains livery was shown people could think it is Hull Trains that have the probelms.
Seems silly when all other TOCs don't seem to mind.
In the end I think it has delayed the Corby service by a week.
Are they only meant to stay on Corby services?
'Cos if its not, wont the reservations play up?
Is it in service yet?
Don't think it's in service yet. Something tells me there will be set diagrams for the 4 car trains. If not the resevation will definitely play up!
I just hope that don't share Corby and Sheffield diagrams no more. Then we can get the 7 car Meridians dedicated on the Sheffields.
