Because many NXG Drivers are putting in for chingford

Just imagine when they try to couple the 1xx subclass :lol:

Mosy likely true, as you can get a late electrostar 379,381 etc (aventra learning material is the same) to give an emergency brake application and drop the pan simultaneously by operating one of the emergency plungers in the cab, so their is most likely a fault around these system responses.

Caught up with a bombardier fitter today at Liverpool Street working on one of the 345s.....still teething problems hopefully sorted soon

Definitely wont be in 2 weeks

TFL are hoping for Feb 2019...
