class 320 refurb

[Damien1986]

With scot-rail.co.uk publishing the diagrams to be used in the next timetable,will the publication of the class 320 units include the Argyle Line services that will be diagrammed for them?

the class 320 has arrived at kilmarnock and will be released into service sometime this week according to close contacts who work there

I don't think the answer will have changed since the last time you asked this:

I walked passed kilmarnock wabtec this morning and show the 320 unit and the spt colors were removed and getting ready to be vinyl and repainted there and any internal repaint and new seat colours
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
now according to scot rail wiki it states now to be TBC so now more delays I mean come one how long can they work on a single unit

The unit has been removed of every single internal and external components until its left a shell

now it has been fitted with new interiors, new flooring, toilet and new paint externally

external mod has been done to it and it has been done since February but come one how long can one unit take

its just ridiculous now

I am sorry but do you know what is happening to the unit? It is more than just a new paint job/interior refresh it is getting.

The first unit will always be one of the longest as it will often throw up some unexpected problems.

 

[01jtiong]

what unexpected problems that take 4 months long to repair

is there still corrosion under the carriages, rust etc ice even

Components were removed for overhaul- contactors, levelling valves etc. Any of the components could have been adding to the delay.

 

[01jtiong]

so more technical components haven't been delivered but the unit is already in kilmarnock but waiting for more component

I never said that components were not delivered. I said that any one of the components could have been an additional delay.

 

[01jtiong]

the components themselves may not be compatible with the unit so they may have to send them back or purchase new ones

more technical issues could be the problem

how long more do we have to wait

Been confirmed on scot-rail that nothing came up the ECML from Doncaster last night.

I was told that it was ah well don-caster expected to leave this week that new info I just been given to me

some time this week around midnight

 

[cj_1985]

quite odd... since no one else anywhere else has seen the unit move to glasgow, or seen the unit being dragged between the translator vans by a virgin 57 to kilmarnock... nor has anyone seen a 57 + Translator vans traveling back to glasgow from kilmarnock... hell.. no body has even heard about a confirmed move and booked path for the unit from doncaster to move north again.

i say (after having asked about - specifically on www.scot-rail.co.uk) that your talking out of your Ar*e

 

[01jtiong]

what you mean no one has seen it are we to believe that people are along the doncaster - glasgow line

or to hear that the freight train needs to be booked on that line

I thought freight trains have a complete different system to commercial trains and they just turn up on the line when units are finished and just waiting for the availability of the freight trains ready to be hauled back to its destination

One of the funniest posts yet. Sorry, don't mean to feed, but this guy is hilarious.

So you saw it..................

I was told that it was ah well don-caster expected to leave this week that new info I just been given to me

But then you didn't...............

Really, if you must come on here and blatantly lie then at least don't leave gaps in your story. Don't forget, some people can be gullable and will take you at your word when you try to give out timings. Is it worth wasting their time?

One of the funniest posts yet. Sorry, don't mean to feed, but this guy is hilarious.

Surely the funniest post was the one that started with his most unbelievable statement;

Actually I do understand coming from senior management level...

and ended with the pearl of wisdom

...educate customers on that brand identity is more important than actual train services

With no doubt a wind up merchant... or a prize buffoon.

Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey
Oh hokey, cockey, cokey
Must have been seeing things, must have been tripping

 

[01jtiong]

the 320 units will never come out at this rate due to many delays

 

[YorkshireBear]

your right there gonna be lost into the history of wabtec never to be seen again,
shame really.

 

[01jtiong]

My colleagues at doncaster have just told me that the components are not ready that the new computer systems are still being installed and the wiring takes time and complex to do

however its planned to be released by the end of the week at the latest, thats what i have been told

 

[sprite]

the wiring takes time and complex to do

But must have new colours on the trains ASAP someone send Doncaster more complex!

I thought YOU had seen it at Kilmarnock?

 

[185]

Youre all wrong. The first refurbished one is working the Stockport-Stalybridge this weekend.

 

[ainsworth74]

My colleagues at doncaster

What colleagues? Who do you work for?

 

[Darandio]

Ah, so it isn't locked in Lord Lucan's lock up, alongside Shergar's stable on the moon?

That could harbour an interesting answer, or be ignored, replaced by yet more random titbits.

 

[Callum]

I'm sure my colleagues in Doncaster could give us an update on the 320's progress. Anybody got the number for the Doncaster branch of Sainsbury's?

 

[driver9000]

I didn't think the 320s ran a TMS or any other computer system.

 

[ainsworth74]

Indeed it could be quite interesting. But to be honest I don't hold out much hope of an answer.
