But I do actually want to know when there's been an update to the topic at hand, believe it or not, as is I'm sure why the feature was introduced? That said, I'm going to only cause alerts for others myself now by staying on this, so I won't labour the point further.
Click "unwatch" and you won't get the alertsIs there even much point in this thread still being open at the moment? No progress is being made and I'm personally sick of getting thread alerts just for the same "this is such a shambles" comments, I don't know about anyone else
I’m aware that when the trains first did their “soft launch” it was reported that the announcements would eventually be replaced, but nothing since. Are they finally being rolled out?
They have always been on the pre recorded announcements, that are activated from the cabs.
As well as those parked up next to those salty estuaries - Eastleigh and Marchwood. Can't imagine the damp cold salty air will have improved them, unless those at Eastleigh have been stood on the 750V DC. Any warm storage at Long Marston ?

Would be good to get the Windsor line 100% 701.
Did he say diagrams or units? Getting 10 units into service when we currently only have 6 wouldn't be impressive.
Really wish rail journalists/publications did in-depth investigations into issues on the railway like mainstream news does. They’re all too anxious of making enemies with the companies responsible I assume
Is the driver training still suspended?

Well, here we are at the end of February and not a sniff of a 701 on either of Diagrams 7 and 8
Oh, how optimistic we were three months ago............
GBRTT will have no involvement in SWR. SWR is being taken over by DfT Operator Ltd, which in the turn will be taken over by GBR when that's formed in a few year's time. At that stage SWR will cease to exist altogether.
Even then some people were remarking how slow the planned rollout was, but SWR has, as usual, given us one better and made it completely non-existent
And in true SWR fashion it will be brushed under the carpet.
Probably gearing up for another PR launch to give management a day out the office.
I'm sure when the new financial year comes around there will be enough time and budget between then and franchise change to get another all expenses paid event in.

None of the usual "we're sorry you're leaving" posts so I wonder under what circumstances this occurredInteresting that the former head for this project seems to have got himself a new job.

Since viewing the linked article would need me to sign up to LinkedIn (which I have no intention of doing), would it be possible to say what his new job involves? A quote (as per forum rules) would be useful.Interesting that the former head for this project seems to have got himself a new job.
