802202 heading back to Heaton on the ECML earlier today (on diesel compared to electric above). Noted that there were booked station stops along parts of the route - perhaps door/dwell tests?
(Since you asked on the Mk5 thread too, this is the link for the Cl.397 plan https://www.railforums.co.uk/posts/3868716/)
Doesn't appear to be, at least externally https://www.railforums.co.uk/posts/3923109/

No, that would have been 802 203, seen here at Doncaster that day. Moving from Eastleigh, I think, to Newcastle.

Is that before or after its fault-free running etc. ?

Sorry, I have no idea - only that it was making the move.

I'm really happy with that provision of toilets, two acessable and 3 standard. Probably the best layout toilet-wise of any of the Nova Fleet!
Definitely an improvement on the 185's two, especially considering one is usually broken!

Is that a kitchen or shop in the front of the first class carriage?
You mean the bit where it says 'Galley' on the seating plan? Because, if you do, it's the galley.

Ok, I couldn't see what it said!
Funny idea to have a gallery on a train, will it be showing originals or prints?

Yeah they've been like it for ages
An 802 running to Eastleigh? Why go (back) there?

That’s all irrelevant to why the unit is going to Eastleigh though, which is a depot practically on the south coast where certain commissioning work takes place, but on a route where 800/801/802 will never run in public service...
I made a mistake. Excuse me.
Because there was no space in Newton Aycliffe, class 802 was written somewhere in the thread that it was temporarily stored in Southampton.

I believe this, and a return move tomorrow, is a 180.
There is a Dollands Moor to Eastleigh 802 move tomorrow.

It's 180107 so folk can stop getting worked up about the the rights and wrongs of sending an 802 to Eastleigh

What is it for exactly? (sorry for going off topic)

Repairs and mods to make them go, and more reliably I would expect...

And besides, Eastleigh has a contract to undertake modification/rectification works on the 80x fleet anyway. If Eastleigh has the skills, knowledge and capacity, why shouldn't they get the work?

Noticed this sign at Stalybridge platform 4.
Is the TPE 5 & 6 for a Nova and double 185 respectively?

Well a double 185 should be covered by the regular 6 car stop sign. I am guessing that that the new sign only refers to Novas, as the Nova 3 is of course 5 coaches but 6 vehicles.
