I bet these go into service very quickly. Crew training must surely be quite advanced by now!

Think theyre was one of these sitting at Doncaster late this afternoon, was shown as a 5Hxx on RTT from Donny to hull whether that was . It has absolutely no livery so not even sure if it was hull trains. Confusingly somkene had entered Manchester picc as the destination on the external electronic panels.

Hull Trains have been using TPE 802s for crew training for a number of months. There are no HT 802s currently in the country.

The deep blue colour looks very good, give it an orange stripe down the side and it could pass for GNER!

Give it a white stripe and it would pass for the old Hull Corporation bus and trolleybus scheme!

How many diagrams have Hull trains got to swap over then, sorry if that's a stupid question I haven't got much interest in 180 type matters

They have four 180s and I think need three in traffic. So presumably three diagrams. Though at the moment they have access to two HSTs so there's a lot more flex than is typical.

Fair enough, but are there usually that many?

I think they use the same consist of ”extras” no matter what is being moved, certainly those badly painted containers at the front can be seen in many delivery moves from the continent. So it’s possible the delivery FOC and European counterparts sometimes end up using a much bigger train than would theoretically be needed.

The FOC is RailAdventure https://www.railadventure.de/en/ who do movements on the continent the same as Rail Operations Group do here. Their logo can be seen on the sides of the wagons.

I'm surprised a seat plan isn't floating around the net by now. Similar layout to Azumas?
