I don’t think London Weighting is included anymore. But taxi agreement is in place for any shifts that start before 05:30am or 08:00 Sundays and shifts finishing after 00:30. Hotel/expenses are provided whilst training away from your home depot. Not outside of that unless during major disruption.

It’s rises after 80 days (route learning and signing off the Wolverhampton core) to £62k (Euston depot). Then £67k a year from start date or pass out.

Or knowing a driver who is willing to pay the highest bid to get moving first lol

My cousin has heard back and I believe starts in March at Manchester depot

4 cars make a regular appearance; 17:17 from St Pancras was FULL and standing yesterday. 17:47 was 4 car on Monday FULL and standing. In these circumstances especially at peaks times they should be doing more to provide the capacity where it’s needed. In general since the arrival of the 360s it...

This could be true and would only improve with time and experience.

Faults seem to be a daily occurrence with the 360s... Not sure how well they are being maintained

Hopefully it will be improved as the red & white barriers used to stop passengers from walking on to the platforms are being removed permanently. In addition, the continuous flow of Corby services should help minimise the amount of passengers waiting on the concourse.

There’s quite a few in the blue EMR connect now and they’re running training units as they still have quite a few drivers to get through. This will hopefully help make the refurbishment/repaint programme quicker when that finally takes place.

That’s correct, this particular connect service will indeed be a cl.222 (4car apparently) according to the drivers diagrams. This is for the purpose of route retention as it continues on from Melton Mowbray to Syston empty. It then returns starting from Melton to form the 13:51 from Corby to London.

Pre-covid and Pre-Thameslink 2018 timetable change, EMT services stopped at Bedford and Luton stations during peaks which were very heavily loaded. Evening Peaks from St Pancras were just as busy so going by those levels 8/12 car can be justified especially as these services will be the only...

With the cl360s planned to be running as 8car initially from May it free ups a lot of spare units to be sent off for refurbishment.

Yeah EMR company magazine

Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but EMR are now rebranding the cl360s as “EMR CONNECT” instead of “Electrics”.

Freight is 25mph through platform 3 and increases to 40mph once clear of the signal

It’s just recently been increased to 40mph over the points into platform 2 northbound and 30mph platform 1.

I assume you mean the 319s? Bedford Cauldwell depot would be perfect if they can source the facilities needed to carry out all the refurbs.

Clearly that’s where you’ve crawled from... So go back and try again. Your ignorant comment is unnecessary 1611582942 Your comment/question is valid.

I definitely agree especially with the number of 360 units being stabled at Cricklewood and Kettering now. But then again it’s not surprising. It would even be nice to see an EMR Uniform.

There’s no excuse why they can’t atleast refurb the majority of these 360s before sending them into passenger service. With everything pushed back until May 2021 the majority of them could easily be repainted.
