If it hadn’t been for ticket acceptance with Northern, half of the passengers in that train wouldn’t have boarded.

All the Liverpool to Glasgow trains are diagrammed to be 397 operated.

I have seen an email from the guard who was on that train at the time. Said guard sent in a rather detailed email of all the delays on that service after York. The York extended dwell was indeed partly due to a lot of passengers trying to board coaches A and B only, when the doors at C and D...

Glasgow only.

Or as we do now, have traction links. Sign the same routes and different traction. That’s how things work at the moment.

They will from the Dec TT change

No drivers will be dual Nova trained - only 185 and Nova xx trained - with the exception of Glasgow based drivers who will sign 802 and 397.

Top and tail mode (rather a full set of 5 cars with a loco on each end) is already programmed into ASDO for rescue purposes. For example a loco attached to the DT dragging the failed train set. Anyway, regardless the software issue is sorted now so back to normal from Monday. No sets out this...

Not true. It had another issue which would have prevented departure however. Full reset and it was sorted.

Annual Leave. To put it simply we are in the high point of conductor and driver leave and this affects the new traction more at the moment. There are quite a few conductors current on the Nova 3 who are on leave. Many of those still working don’t sign them yet. As for the drivers, they need to...

Most of the issues are software related. Only one loco until recently had the correct (latest) software fitted hence why the others running are having recurring ETS faults. This is in motion to be updated on the other locos but needs CAF and DRS to sort it together. Apart from that, looks like...

Second train in service from 23rd... This weeks loco hauled trains are running on Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat, Sun.

Cancelled throughout and remainder of diagram as well for today.

Regarding the T1 coach next to the loco... The idea was that the guard would be situated next to the loco, followed by a galley and then 1st class. Having one staff only door makes sense - the trolleys can be loaded through it, as well as staff changing over (guards mainly) without hindrance...

Should be 027 and set 9 today, if it runs.

The ongoing safety alarm has been fixed. New sensor.

Only 09 and 11 are fitted out for passenger use at the moment (all emergency tools and on train equipment fitted).

The set will be back out on Tuesday @gimmea50anyday and should continue all the way through to the weekend, including Saturday. Alas the plans can change at 24hrs notice so beware, as it all revolves around available qualified crew at the moment.
