No worries, that does seem to happen sometimes.i never got a notification for this thread for some reason so i thought it had went inactive
Looks like today could be the first to have six units in traffic.
With one spare. Should make things a lot simpler having them accepted. Full 321 training of one of the Norwich driver links is still in progress however.And that will be enough to see the hauled stock off, given the contingency timetable.

Too late really and it's always a back up.I’d be stopping that now if I was in charge.
When does this contingency timetable replace the current version ?And that will be enough to see the hauled stock off, given the contingency timetable.
Indeed. I have seen nothing from AGA but hear the Southend is going to be a Sunday service. Expect DK1 will enlighten us once he knows.When does this contingency timetable replace the current version ?
Have heard that today could be the last for the 90’s.And that will be enough to see the hauled stock off, given the contingency timetable.
Working from home (or not at all).Wow! I wonder if all those people are working from home, or driving?
Ni90 knocked on the head ufn.If I were the fat controller I would drop the N in 90 till things recover.
Or is that built into the fact that is says Hourly service to Norwich, and the N in 90 is additional.?
I am told that the Norwich - London service , or however far it went today, was 100% 745. Is this correct and if so what about tomorrow ?Ni90 knocked on the head ufn.
No idea about today..but 90004 was out yesterday. And we are told 90008 might be out tomorrow..I am told that the Norwich - London service , or however far it went today, was 100% 745. Is this correct and if so what about tomorrow ?
Yes as stated tomorrow will be the last day with 008 apparently doing the honours. Today was 100% 745 operated (a 755/3 would've accommodated all the passengers with social distancing too) on the Norwich - Ingatestone services.I am told that the Norwich - London service , or however far it went today, was 100% 745.

Absolutely. None of the mainline services I saw yesterday was carrying any more than a dozen passengers or so. The regionals seemed to be as busy.Yes as stated tomorrow will be the last day with 008 apparently doing the honours. Today was 100% 745 operated (a 755/3 would've accommodated all the passengers with social distancing too) on the Norwich - Ingatestone services.
Any idea which diagram yet?Yes as stated tomorrow will be the last day with 008 apparently doing the honours. Today was 100% 745 operated (a 755/3 would've accommodated all the passengers with social distancing too) on the Norwich - Ingatestone services.
By the time the full service is required again, there will be some 720's in service (probably).I think it was 745002, 745005, 745006, 745009 & 745010 in charge of all Norwich services today (Sunday). So by the time full service is required again there will likely be a full complement of 745/0s and 745/1s meaning no need for 90s+Mk3s - the use of Mk3 coaches dwindles .
Sorry but no.Any idea which diagram yet?
Sorry but no.
Id presume in normal times theyd have announced it and maybe had a final farewell run like the 86s did, but I suppose best not to make too big a thing of it to avoid crowds gathering around needlessly
so ends the loco hauled era
Yes. The number of trains with locos on is now really dwindling. Of course the 'hauled' part of the phrase has really already gone with the advent of DVTs. Already the phrase 'run around' won't mean much - apart from for freight. How many run around loops are there left at stations ?
Um new thread ?.
If you look at it like that, loco hauled went in the very early 90s with the advent of DBSOs on the GEML
Wales still has one which is the daily Cardiff central to Holly head you got the night sleepers to Scotland and Cornwall I think some interncity in Scotland shame to see greater Anglia leave their loco servicesYes.
