Excuse the question, as i havent been keeping fully up to date on this subject, but where is the extra rolling stock coming from for the hourly service? Last i heard ATW would need extra stock to run this. One of the reasons for it taking so long i thought.

Or the 50s that were once on the Cardiff to Fishguards!

And? Northern are obviously stretching their fleet too much as it is. Extra trains during off peak, and they are stretched even more. Your point sort of backs my point up. It will get to the stage where trains are never at the depots, and have zero maintenance carried out. Are passengers then...

But why are Northerns units not receiving the TLC they deserve? Could it by any chance be down to trying to provide more seats for all the extra passengers which they were told wouldnt appear? You seem to think Northern can all of a sudden run extra trains, with the same stock, and still do the...

Nobody has any spare DMUs. Surely it'll just be the 2nd 67 coming back?

Passenger services over unusual lines. http://www.psul4all.free-online.co.uk/2012.htm

Or is it the pendy refusing to accept the ETS? Supposedly one of the main causes of failure, and what caused last weeks. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yep. 47s are the usual thunderbird. Plus they operate any emergency short sets on the Great Yarmouth route if they are short...

Supposedly the main cause of the cancellations, is the 390s. Not the 57s. 57s apparently rarely cause problems.

In a similar vein, are there any Inverness to Edinburgh services booked for 158s anytime during the day?

With the current seats EMT have fitted, you arent far off. However bring an FGW or SWT example up, and all of a sudden, its a very suitable train. You just dont like the cab:wink: As for my vote. Well I shall promise not to say 'Voyagers are crap on every journey'. 99% of journeys made on...

Are they not? They have worked the Cambrian Coast in years gone by.

You can find them on some Brightons. Not sure which ones. I also believe there is a single peak time London Bridge to Eastbourne service.

If it doesnt fail before!

Wait until he travels on one :twisted: Oh, he has. Oops! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Is it because it was 141s last day at work before being scrapped?!!:twisted:

Beware, they arent really as nice inside now. Southern ruined the interior. Still fantastic trains though.

Cool beans. Hope this turns out to be the case. Fantastic freight loco. Much better than a 66.

WCML then via Kensington Olympia I would have thought. Not sure what would after Kensington. Bromley South at a guess, but not sure.

Yeah i guessed. DRS dont have the necessary stock though, so it will be a simple(ish) case of changing TOC and traction provider.

Hate to say it, but many companys could take note and read that letter. I can imagine very few complaints, and all because the cancellation was explained in such detail. One good thing, at least it seems as though Serco are on side.

So it does. Still pretty sure it'll be Riviera Mk1s. Same as always. They will need a genny van anyway, and dont think DRS have one of them in their fleet of Mk2s. 37 will surely be one sitting around at Eastleigh, unless they decide to keep it on the back from Crewe.
