Yes makes the end doors stand out better for the guard due to the end doors being white on dark blue and harder to tell than the blue on white of the 331’s. It’s a trial at the moment.
The 333s are already cleared to run on the Doncaster line and have being since they were introduced many moons ago
I did wonder if they would use the door controls in the cab just I see it a bit inefficient for booking staff to dispatch just for 331s, and if they do end up dispatching I feel like it is just the Dft ways of pushing booking staff out of jobs.
The cab buttons are for drivers and only work with a drivers key in that desk.
might’ve done is there any routes that would use it
Manchester Airport to Blackpool North, Barrow-in-Furness and Windermere services which are worked by six carriage trains.
They've run to Doncaster before, though not often and not for a while. Wouldn't have thought a gauging run would be needed, as I'm not aware of any changes to trackwork that would require a do-over.
The updates are in this thread.
He said non ex EMR
They also get mentioned in this thread.
156438 is due to return on the 17th July.
Anyone have any idea what the plan is for the other electric stoppers from Piccadilly? Currently the Hadfields are all 323s, the Alderey Edge terminators are all 331s, and the Crewes and Stokes mostly 323s with the occasional 331.
323218 is the next one in for northern digital mods.
Ive lost track of the WM 323 moves to Northern. Have any been repainted in Northern colours and anyone any idea when they are moving north.
Not got the availability to paint the 323s into northern colours.
Is the curvature at Shipley any worse than that at Carnforth platform 1?
Platform 2 is narrow and as the guard will be in the 4th vehicle (front door of rear set) rather than the 2nd or 3rd (as now) they would not be able to see all the train when closing their doors. Safer to have that 2nd pair of eyes able to keep an eye on the front doors.
323205, 323208, 323210, 323212 are back in traffic with USB mods.
Another 156 is due to leave Heaton for Wolverton in the early hours of tomorrow morning, unsure which one it’s booked to be though.
