OK. I read it as penalties paid by GA to DfT (for not delivering the services as contracted) should be paid for by tickets. I would not put that past someone who doesn't want her own parents to immigrate.
Yes but GA were celebrating the first one being at Ilford on 15/1
On another forum it has been claimed 720 509 will be out from Ilford around 22:00 on Monday night ..16/3
What, tonight? Ilford is blocked and isolated all weekend.
Maybe they meant the year not the time.
Reported as Monday 16th subject to the usual caveats.
How come this is happening? I thought they were meant to be sending them off lease.
They are.
There won’t be a getting back to normal will there?
Ex ARL. Handed back to ROSCO, scrap move cancelled as GA have taken them on.
What does ARL mean, please?
And there are 321s in storage. Seems strange they haven't taken them on
Were there any off-lease 321/4s that weren't converted to 320s?
The only 321/4 that went off lease from GN are already at Anglia.
Not quite, as 401, 403, 404, 418 and 420 did not remain - however, having just looked it up, they too went to Scotrail so never mind!
Thanks, methinks too many operators nowadays. T'was easier to understand / run the railway back in BR days. when the original Chenford GEC EMU's (AM5?) started dying back in '60/'61 the service was kept running by borrowing unused LT&S 4-car sets, with the intermediate trailer removed. They could & did couple with any other units, excepting the Shenfield sliding door sets. FWIW, one of the 4-car Crewe-Liverpool units was borrowed too. Happy days...........
