but at least then I could stop when I knew they were all done, this time I believe they're only lengthening some of the fleet, so I fear I'm stuck counting forever!

Well I don't think there is anything official but popular forum opinion has it that most if not all bidders for the ICWC franchise will include lengthening the remaining 390 sets up to 11-car. So you may yet be saved from an eternity of counting :lol:

And I may be saved from the constant annoyance of having random 11 car sets such as 101,002,003,004,105,106,107,108,009 etc :-x

I'm on the 07:27 off of Warrington Bank Quay to Edinburgh tomorrow, what are my chances of it being an 11 car Pendolino?

Not so, I saw 390042 at Euston on Monday still as a 9-car set. I haven't seen 390024 to confirm one way or

another.

If 9 car 390***, 11 car 391***

I'm sure it's 9 car 3900XX or 11 car 3901XX

Almost completely wrong.

As headshot119 says, the 11-car Pendolinos are numbered in the 3901xx series, and the 9-car sets of course retain their 3900xx numbers.

And as I stated correctly way back on the first page of this thread, the new vehicles are numbered as follows:
TSO - 653xx
MSO - 689xx

With the last two digits corresponding to the set number of course.

As a slight aside, it is pretty much a year ago today since the first "new" Pendolino, as a 9 car unit, 390054 entered public service.

Saturday 16th July 2011 was the first day it was in public service

I know - how time flies!

I have a picture of it on that day at Stoke, looking very shiny! Was planning on taking a trip on it that day, didn't, and I haven't since had any of the new Pendos turn up on my service at all :(

Not to sure how long they've been there but there's at least 4 (I think) sets of new coaches waiting to go into Pendalinos currently stabled at Longsight I noticed when I was on my way down Hyde Road last night

For those who want to know the next set of coaches might be coming up from the tunnel Thursday or more likely Friday morning 19th or 20th as 6Z39 (not 6X39 ! ?).

Nearly, but not quite, as 68907 (and the other 689xx vehicles of course) is an MSO.

Well I don't think there is anything official but popular forum opinion has it that most if not all bidders for the ICWC franchise will include lengthening the remaining 390 sets up to 11-car. So you may yet be saved from an eternity of counting :lol:

...so as it turned out, it really was just 'popular forum opinion', otherwise known as completely unfounded speculation. :roll:

Quite. The one thing that I was rather disappointed about with the new franchise was that they aren't seemingly going to extend the remaining 390s.
