The class 755 have open vestibules into carriages. Will the 745 have internal vestibule doors?
Only the 745/0 IC sets have them from what I recall.The class 755 have open vestibules into carriages. Will the 745 have internal vestibule doors?
When will these trains actually enter service?
I think they should focus on dealing with the problems with the 755s before introducing 745s and withdrawing loco hauled sets, since some of the 755 problems may well be common to the 745s as well.
Any introduction of 745s must be done without withdrawing any legacy stock until the new stock is proven. The last week on the local lines has been a disaster with almost the whole rural network closed because of the serious issues.
Anglia not the only ones having to delay introduction of FLirts.

What's the full diagram on that one?Rumours of a soft launch tomorrow on the diagram starting with The East Anglian. Possibly 007.

Still double bubble for the entire crew.Anything on the 07.40 up will be welcome, been cancelled twice this week and it’s only Tuesday
Seems a good diagram to pick for a soft launch if true. Is the Anglian still a double London trip for a Norwich crew or has that changed?
Will it have a good pilot?Still double bubble for the entire crew.
Guessing not by the lack of news and tweets. Also 8.00 cancelled.Sooo... Was the 0740 a Stadler or a 90 rake this morning?
As I arrived at 8.27 I noticed a 745 in the sidings just off platform 1 with a 37 very close to the front of it!Sooo... Was the 0740 a Stadler or a 90 rake this morning?

Seems reasonable, as far as I'm aware their planned debut this month did not go ahead? Putting the full introduction date back a month accordingly seems a fair response. I don't imagine much work will be taking place between now and the new year. Good to see that BJ has finally formalised the derogation for PRM-TSI though, so presumably there'll be no impact other than the current maintenance backlog.A good source has told me now that the expected date of full introduction of these trains has slipped from March to by the end of April.
Have the 745s received ORR approval to run in passenger service?A good source has told me now that the expected date of full introduction of these trains has slipped from March to by the end of April following a setback, which I assume is the same setback that caused the 07:40 not to be a 745 a few days ago?
Do we know what it was?
Yes: https://orr.gov.uk/__data/assets/pd...-stadler-bussnang-ag-class-745-2019-07-10.pdfHave the 745s received ORR approval to run in passenger service?
One round trip a week? Impressive - not!I've been told one a week from 6 January
