With the reduced timetable, the 90s have gone as of yesterday. Everything is 745s or 321s.
Nope. 90001 is doing the honours today.With the reduced timetable, the 90s have gone as of yesterday. Everything is 745s or 321s.

Yes just the one. It started its day with the 07:00 up.Just one in service then?
Not sure where you got that from. Elsewhere on here it’s reported a 90 was out both yesterday and today. Seen both of them with my Mk1 eyeball.

Very unlikely due to current events I'd assume there's less than 25 used daily now with reduced timetable?Hi. Are the class 755's due to do more than rural services as I've had a quick look at post May there is the need for approx 25 per weekday. It leaves a lot leftover...
It's still roughly the same. There's not much of a reduced service on GA locals except a few peak extra cancellations. Sundays even have an hourly service on every route except Ipswich-Peterborough which is a best ever frequency.Very unlikely due to current events I'd assume there's less than 25 used daily now with reduced timetable?
One of them reasons there is no urgency in getting long stopped units back into traffic. 755424 for example has been robbed for parts to keep others in traffic.Hi.

It will be replaced in time. They are not all required yet so it's easier to stand those awaiting more serious repair down & retrofit at a later date.Already!? For 20 year old HeX trains and 50 year old tube stock part robbing is expected but why can’t GA order a part from Stadler? They have way more than enough to run the current service.

So you're saying the decision of how to maintain the trains is decided by Stadler themselves rather than Greater Anglia deciding how the trains they ordered for their own network need to be maintained? I thought Stadler only had a maintenance contract not that they were practically running Crown Point (a very well run depot from what I hear).Stadler run Crown Point depot now so it is up to them if they want to rob parts off other units rather than order them in. Nothing to do with Greater Anglia who just run the trains provided to them by Stadler.
It's even more diluted now the government are taking all revenue risk. I wouldn't worry. As long as the timetabled service is covered it's no problem.So you're saying the decision of how to maintain the trains is decided by Stadler themselves rather than Greater Anglia deciding how the trains they ordered for their own network need to be maintained?
