Light engine on its way. Are we getting three deliveries this week?
I presume it’ll be 111 going north tonight.

Saw a 385 in Glasgow Central this morning. Sitting in platform 12 at about 0920. There were maybe 3 or 4 members of staff inside at the front of it, sitting about chatting. Looks quite good I think!
Fair enough, I suspected that it was just chance that I saw nothing other than 385s.I believe the E-G diagrams are split between 385s and 365s equally. xx:00 and xx:15 tend to be 385s while the rest are 365s. There were 100% some 365s out today as I saw at least 3.
I had my first run on one today. It was alright. Granted the seats are a bit firm and there's more rattles and vibration than you'd expect, but we went end to end in 5 minutes less than the timetable, I had a table of four to myself, excellent wifi and power, and I hardly noticed the journey.
There seems to be far more of them around than reading of this thread would suggest. All of the E&G and North Berwick trains I saw, of which there were only four in total it's true, were 385s. I saw no 365s or 380s.

A couple of days ago a twitter user tweeted a photo of one of the four test units being fitted out in Pistoia. Apparently they won’t be delivered back to the U.K. until March.
Things are indeed going wellDeliveries are going well. The units in Italy are being fitted out as planned.

look on the bright side- they could have subcontracted to Wabtec....Being fitted out as planned...!!! it takes Aycliffe 30 days to complete one from a shell to finished vehicle. The ones in Italy have been there months....
Is that for the whole unit, or just one carriage?Being fitted out as planned...!!! it takes Aycliffe 30 days to complete one from a shell to finished vehicle. The ones in Italy have been there months....
