Don’t kill me for asking this please...my friend said that the 397 is the same as a Mk5, could anyone elaborate on this please
In winter, 185's can get rather cold during station calls, with the doors wide open, so the reversion to end doors is likely to solve that.
That's great news.The ongoing safety alarm has been fixed. New sensor.
Call me old-school, but I have to say that I find it a bit unusual when people are more concerned about the coaching stock than the loco.

I don't see why not - the Nova 3s are in (limited, slightly unofficial) service now on set diagrams, there's already similar threads for the 195s and 331s which were created around their first week of service. The majority of posts over the last week are around diagrams, there's clearly enough for a separate thread.Sorry that I didn't make myself clear upthread. I wasn't questioning aspects of the coaching stock from a passenger perspective.
What I was highlighting was the concern amongst some enthusiasts whether it will be set TP9 or TP11, rather than which 68 is on the front/back.
I think we need a separate thread in the Diagrams forum to focus on the workings. Indeed, it could be expanded to include all 68 passenger services. What do folk think?

And to answer your question, we currently have TP09 and TP11 with at least one more due to come good in due course.So my ask about sets was because to have two trains in service by the end of this month there needs to be at least 2 good sets available.

A fair number will be interested in doing each set, just as they would with units, some will go as far as each coach, others as far as sitting in each seat in each coach if it’s a route they use often..... whatever interests people.
Yep been on TP09 with 68027, had a slight ETS (Electric Train Supply) problem but that was reset and ok thereafter.
Have faithShould be 027 and set 9 today, if it runs.
Cheers, I'll take a punt as on the day tickets are expensive!!That's the plan. Be aware this could change at any time.
