175105 working today
Excellent use of resources.The Manchester set was out today working shuttles between Crewe and Chester for Chester races
Excellent use of resources.
Can see something similar being needed on the new Liverpool service before long.
Manchester is 175104 today. Not sure what’s happened to 67014.
Class 67 on the 16:50 to Llandudno today started moving at Earlestown while the passengers were disembarking. Guard didn’t look too happy but the driver seemed to be moving to the stop marker or something. Not sure how it happened.
Looks like that was the issue. Can the driver not see something in his cab to tell him that the doors have been unlocked though? Are the Mark 3 carriages meant to be getting retired soon? Definitely should be if they don’t have that kind of safety feature.Not good at all. Wonder how this happened? There’s definitely a 67/DVT stop marker at Earlestown. How would the driver notify the guard on a stop short?

It probably should be reported I suppose. It rolled really slowly, almost as if the handbrake had come off. One woman shouted as she jumped off but I don’t think she was hurt the everyone waited until it stopped again before getting off. It’s a long step down from those coaches onto a curved (relatively) moving platform so I was impressed nobody fell over.I wonder if this has been reported. The doors have an interlock, should not be moving whilst open, could have ended badly. Most people younger than 30 these days struggle working out how to open the doors, let alone dealing with a moving train whilst leaning on a door and trying to open it.

Maybe 10m or so. It moved for at least 15 seconds. It was possible I suppose although it didn't happen with any other stations. Perhaps they're all flatter though and this may have been a slight slope. Or maybe the curve affected the brakes somehow.How far did it move? Perhaps a brake issue on that coach.
Managed to stay still today. 67014. Think it’s the same one as yesterday though I’m not sure as I didn’t catch the number.
Different guard today. Maybe the one who was on yesterday is having a “rest”.Yep was 67014 yesterday. Has been for a while now.

No they dont. There is no interlock on most slam door stock.I wonder if this has been reported. The doors have an interlock, should not be moving whilst open, could have ended badly.

There's a difference between interlocking (driver can't take power unless all doors are properly closed) and central door locking (passengers can't open doors until the guard unlocks them).Yes they do until the train is stopped and guard releases them they are locked. I travel on them enough.
