The heating issue is almost certainly user error. Putting the unit in 'empty transportation mode' (ET) coming off a depot knocks off the HVAC and some other systems and a lot of drivers don't realise that the HVAC has to be restarted manually when the unit is taken out of ET mode otherwise there will be no heating or air con on in that unit - and this is quite important to be working when in passenger service because the fire detection system is linked to the HVAC.
It's not really worth bothering with ET mode a lot of the time for the reason that the unit will quite likely enter service freezing in winter and roasting in summer.
A lot of guards are very cagey about working 195s & 331s because their training is very poor and the door systems and Asdo in particular are different from what they are already familiar with.
