Class 365 future

[4-SUB 4732]

First unit, 365523, working from Haymarket to Allerton on Sunday 6th for use on Northern to cover in May when 331s are not available for the new timetable.

Unit runs as 5Z55.

Liverpool - Manchester - Airport - Crewe runs appear to be the candidates for the units.

What will happen to 365537?

Thanks,

First unit

How many in total? And how long is the training? I assume a simple conversion course for EMU-competent drivers.

to Allerton

How will Allerton maintain these when Shields couldn't and gave up?

It'll be good to see these in Northern-land as the 319s I've recently been on have been knackered.

Were the 331s going to replace the 319s in the short term, or add extra capacity/replace Pacers?

Seeing 319s and 365s side by side in Manchester will be surreal!

I smell an April fool. 523 is currently at Shields, not Haymarket and is missing lots of parts. And as Haymarket depot isn't electrified it would have a job starring from there.

Bit late to be chucking April fools around!

Source please? This looks like an April fool to me...

According to the time and date on my calendar, it is still April 1st.

I was on guard this morning but it was my understanding jokes are over after noon. Joke's on the OP for that one I think, if it was intended as a April fool's prank

April fools are supposed to stop at 1200...

Same here, but as others have already explained ^^

Source is, at the very least, a very authentic looking sheet of paper with full times, diagram numbers and such. Even if not 365523, it could be another.

The times begin at Haymarket station not from Haymarket Depot so one assumes it could be the case that it is being delivered to Platform 0 by ScotRail then being picked up thereafter by the FOC.

Hopefully then. I really liked them. Shame if they went to waste. They became unreliable here at Scotrail I suspect because it was a 2 day job just to get the units to and from Shields depot, meaning things weren't getting fixed as quickly as they should and fitters were dealing with faults away from the depot without proper equipment.

That’s definitely true.

If they ended up at Slade Green with all of the right parts and expertise one has to assume they would be vastly more reliable. Micro fleets don’t work - we know that!

It was an April Fools joke.
