I've been checking the news - however, I cannot find any reports of any paint factories suffering an explosion, but there must have been one...?

A path is in for a loco to move to Merchant Park on Tuesday.
Presumably to move 807010 for a night of testing prior to delivery to Wembley. (Can’t see any paths in system for delivery as yet)
RTT path included below.
(Could also be to drag a 810 to Old Dalby but normally that’s a morning drag)

Can’t be 807010 as there’s no path in for it from York/Darlington
As I wrote in my post!
The delivery path would be Wednesday which means it may not yet of been processed into the system!!

Oh, okay. Hoping it’s 807010. Been waiting to see it for ages.
The main issue with drinks spilling is the seat back tables, the same issue exists on the refurbished 390s.
I find them to be some of the best riding 80x (albeit I’ve been on 51 Evero services, far more than I’ve been on any other 80x), and they seem on a par with 350s on the fast lines with regard to ride quality.

There is 807 testing between Darlington and Doncaster overnight Tuesday so you are probably right, the journey to Wembley hasn’t made it through yet.

The path is in for 1st and 2nd July, overnight testing, not seen the Wembley one yet
Attachments
this was in first class so a fixed table
I must say this is unusual. I have used the 805/807s around 40 times, and in all cases the ride quality has been exceptional.
When the MU speed is introduced, I may review my opinion.

I'm getting reports from a Class 80x driver of heat issues in electric mode requesting a reduction in power. Seems to be inverters overheating. Has anyone else heard of this issue?

Not personally. Diesel is another matter, and even now some GWR sets are suffering with engines getting hot and de rating to reduced power, noticeably more on 802s than 800s, though not as bad as when the problem first surfaced a few years back.

And that should be 807010 in its unique Together We Roll livery being delivered to Wembley marking the complete rollout of the Avanti West Coast Class 805/807 Evero sets.
Let’s just see if this happens!Realtime Trains | 5Q14 0633 York to Wembley Inter City Depot | 03/07/2025

The unit has remained stuck at Darlington all day, where it currently remains.
They were unable to get the unit and the 66 couples up.
Now, wether it needs to go back to factory before it can be delivered, or wether it can still do testing tonight remains to be seen.

Any more on this situation?
Unit and loco both remain at Darlington.
The path that would normally move them between Merchant Park and Darlington tonight has been manually activated this afternoon, so goodness knows what they are doing.
I would keep an eye on the path below to see if it does testing tonight
Update at 23:44 it had departed south on its test run.Realtime Trains | 5Q09 2344 Darlington to York | 02/07/2025

The delivery of 807010 is now complete.
The only thing left is for it to enter service.
