11 car Pendos Update

[ainsworth74]

but at least then I could stop when I knew they were all done, this time I believe they're only lengthening some of the fleet, so I fear I'm stuck counting forever!

Well I don't think there is anything official but popular forum opinion has it that most if not all bidders for the ICWC franchise will include lengthening the remaining 390 sets up to 11-car. So you may yet be saved from an eternity of counting

And I may be saved from the constant annoyance of having random 11 car sets such as 101,002,003,004,105,106,107,108,009 etc :-x

Engines on a pendo? :?

one of the extra cars has a motor so the strain should be less.

 

[dave87016]

030 is now formed of 11 cars and renumbered 130 , heard that 039 is now 11 car set and renumbered to 139 however I cant confirm the latter one

 

[sprinterguy]

AFAIK I have been told that 390024 and 390042 have both been made into 11 car sets and renumbered 390124 and 390142

Not so, I saw 390042 at Euston on Monday still as a 9-car set. I haven't seen 390024 to confirm one way or another.

 

[dave87016]

042 and 039 are still 9 car sets, 124 is definately 11 car set saw it yesterday at Preston

 

[headshot119]

I'm on the 07:27 off of Warrington Bank Quay to Edinburgh tomorrow, what are my chances of it being an 11 car Pendolino?

 

[1across]

11 car pendolinos renumbered 391***. extra cars,Car F. TSO 693**,Car U, MSO TSO 689**. Last 2 numbers as rest of set.

If 9 car 390***, 11 car 391***

I'm sure it's 9 car 3900XX or 11 car 3901XX

Almost completely wrong.

As headshot119 says, the 11-car Pendolinos are numbered in the 3901xx series, and the 9-car sets of course retain their 3900xx numbers.

And as I stated correctly way back on the first page of this thread, the new vehicles are numbered as follows:

TSO - 653xx
MSO - 689xx

With the last two digits corresponding to the set number of course.

As a slight aside, it is pretty much a year ago today since the first "new" Pendolino, as a 9 car unit, 390054 entered public service.

Saturday 16th July 2011 was the first day it was in public service

 

[MCR247]

Wow. Doesn't seem like that long ago

 

[Crossover]

I know - how time flies!

I have a picture of it on that day at Stoke, looking very shiny! Was planning on taking a trip on it that day, didn't, and I haven't since had any of the new Pendos turn up on my service at all

 

[Peter Sarf]

The next set of extra coaches are supposed to be coming on 27th iirc - But one bit of my memory says next weekend which is the 20th so be warned. Sorry cannot check atm.

 

[M60lad]

Not to sure how long they've been there but there's at least 4 (I think) sets of new coaches waiting to go into Pendalinos currently stabled at Longsight I noticed when I was on my way down Hyde Road last night

 

[D6975]

Just come back from a few days based in Carlisle.
I saw these 11 (ex9) car sets.
107 112 119 122 124 130 131 136

 

[dave87016]

048 has now been made into a 11 car set and renumbered 390148

 

[Peter Sarf]

For those who want to know the next set of coaches might be coming up from the tunnel Thursday or more likely Friday morning 19th or 20th as 6Z39 (not 6X39 ! ?).

Nearly, but not quite, as 68907 (and the other 689xx vehicles of course) is an MSO.

 

[dave87016]

018 has now been made into a 11 car set and renumbered 118 and was at Edge Hill when looking it up on TRUST

 

[james37672]

390125 390127 next 2 to be done.

...so as it turned out, it really was just 'popular forum opinion', otherwise known as completely unfounded speculation. :roll:

 

[dave87016]

051 has now been strengthened to a 11 car set and renumbered 151

 

[ainsworth74]

Quite. The one thing that I was rather disappointed about with the new franchise was that they aren't seemingly going to extend the remaining 390s.

 

[dave87016]

028 has now been extended to a 11 car set and as a result renumbered 128

 

[james37672]

390134 now done, next is 390029.

 

[Geezertronic]

Do you guys with the info have insider knowledge or is there a knowledgebase somewhere in www land with this info on?

107 112 114 117 118 119 122 124 125 127 128 129 130 131 134 136 137 141 148 151 (19 units) plus of course 154 to 157 seems to be the current list of 11 cars, unless there's any I've missed.
