I was merely clarifying a confusion regarding the question, not arguing about the vinyl!
They wouldn't be able to go through any platform without the pantographs raised though, also what looks like tail lights on the "front" and a distinct lack of a locomotive...
I’d imagine South Cotswolds via Stroud will be one of the last, on the basis that it is usually one of the first to be cancelled when there is service disruption.
Or it's just more convenient to have the loco pushing the 387s into Reading depot, as otherwise the loco might end up trapped.They wouldn't be able to go through any platform without the pantographs raised though, also what looks like tail lights on the "front" and a distinct lack of a locomotive...
I guess GWR thought it would be bad press to show a modern electric train being pulled around by a class 57...
And there I was thinking it was using the new acme perpetual motion drive, which is obviously far more efficient than any conventional OHL system, hence no need for the pantograph to be upOr it's just more convenient to have the loco pushing the 387s into Reading depot, as otherwise the loco might end up trapped.
The actual terminating point of the path put in the system was Reading DMUD which is the old triangle sidings not the TCD. As it happened I had already spoken to the Station Signaller to arrange which Depot Connection it was going to arrive at so it was only going to come through P13, 14 or 15.

Looks like the 2 units at Worcester have found their way back to a depot.

I think there was one in Exeter as well but not 100% sure?
802016, think its at Laira now, not 100 percent sure
My bad in that case!
How come they’re not allowed to work in multiple with themselves elsewhere?
Unless it was another one.... lol
Definitely was one of them there as I saw it too. Maybe fabricating memories here but think I saw it as 800004 (I wasn’t paying particular attention as I was sat on another train).
Looks like a join rather than a crack?Some photo's of the lifting pocket cracks, taken from Mark Hopwood's Linkedin feed...
In the second picture it does a bit, but a close examination of the first picture suggests that the crack ends where the bubbled paint ends
Well, the question before that is "has an actual cause been isolated" - whether it's faulty design or faulty materials or something bizarre. Feels a bit early for that stage.
That’s excellent news. I don’t think anyone cares about short forms or differing stock as long as their train runs.
