319's seem to use it a lot now in my experience
At York? The original post about electrics being in P1 was talking about York

Apart from when they we being built, I don't recall seeing any Class 319's in York. I guess this is just a simple case of crossed wires (excuse the pun!)
Shortly after the OHLE went up, I did see a Class 84 in York platform 8 - mobile loadbank ADB968021. There are some interesting online pictures of the loco in both this platform and the parcel sidings here:

Drivers training has started, our depot just been emailed today with the plan for the guards training - it starts next week.Are they training drivers/ guards now or still training the instructors.
Are these 4 car units?
331 107 in platform 1 at York this evening whilst awaiting departure with 5Z62 to Doncaster. Looks nice inside.
There was a bright light aimed at the pantograph, I assume for some kind of testing.

Many thanks for that, I didn’t know about it being a requirement.If the light was on top of the train already, it's a requirement for new electric trains to be fitted with lights and cameras, so if the wires come down, it can be seen if it was the photograph which brought them down or faulty wires etc.

I assume that you mean: "it can be seen if it was the pantograph which brought them down". I didn't think that OLE was camera shy.If the light was on top of the train already, it's a requirement for new electric trains to be fitted with lights and cameras, so if the wires come down, it can be seen if it was the photograph which brought them down or faulty wires etc.

I'm not a northern staff member myself but I was asking the same thing not too long ago (which turned into an argument) but Leeds based staff members have said in this forum that they will not enter service before the May timetable change (infact they have said they won't enter service in may at all)I've seen a posting in one Facebook group suggesting there's going to be a 331 on one of the Leeds/Doncaster diagram before the timetable change.
I find this incredibly hard to believe myself, but have shared to allow those with more knowledge to confirm or dismiss accordingly.
If all goes well, we'll probably only see the first units in service in late June.I've seen a posting in one Facebook group suggesting there's going to be a 331 on one of the Leeds/Doncaster diagram before the timetable change.

I'm guessing that the second week of July is probably the earliest and maybe the end of July is probably the latestIf all goes well, we'll probably only see the first units in service in late June.
By this point, you're probably correct.I'm guessing that the second week of July is probably the earliest and maybe the end of July is probably the latest
I wouldn't be surprised either. If they were to enter service any earlier than my guess, then I think the first unit would have been delivered in March as opposed to last month. Unless someone that is a Leeds based crew member (such as adam) says any different then I guess somewhere between early to late July is most likely to be when we see the first 331 in service in Leeds. As for the Manchester based units, they could enter service either before the Leeds based units, the same time as the Leeds units or after them.By this point, you're probably correct.
Yep, covered all bases there. Must be one of those three.As for the Manchester based units, they could enter service either before the Leeds based units, the same time as the Leeds units or after them.
What I was trying to say was that there's a chance that the Manchester units could enter service at a different time to the Leeds units.Yep, covered all bases there. Must be one of those three.
