Does anyone know which set is in store at Crewe still? Is it TP01? Additional question has 01 seen use yet? Sorry if this has been answered before!

I've been out of this for a while. Are these still going to run to Middlesbrough?
Yes, the issue appears to be driver training, the focus has been on Scarborough services. Currently driver training on all TOCs is suspended due to COVID-19 however as I understand from others on this forum this may be relaxed soon. Would expect training to start for Middlesbrough services soon after.

Due to post-COVID reduction in demand, TPE to run DT14 coupled with a 68 on the overnight services to Manchester Airport.

This is definitely a joke.

Even though only 4 were planned for service each day, am I right in saying that almost all of the sets have actually been used?

Unlikely all have been used. Sadly despite been 27 months since the first arrived and a year since they first entered service only max 4 been used, with less now. Its been months since all 397 and 802 been accepted with lot more used daily. Maybe 7 or 8 been used.

Someone on one of the Facebook groups has just said that the Mk5A sets have been grounded due to a suspension issue. Any truth to this?

Are there enough 185s to render everything 6-car? Not so bad if so. There weren't many sets out anyway.

The knocks and bangs coming from the bogies on some sets are worrying. How on earth they've been accepted into service I don't know.

From tomorrow then I guess
02.10.2020
68025 plus TP06 on 1E51
68024 plus TP09 on 1P92
definitely running through to their destinations in passenger service.

Fingers crossed the grounding is a precautionary measure and the Nova 3 sets will be back in traffic soon.

The sleeper still appears to be running tonight, so it doesn’t seem the sleeper mark 5s are affected by this
As I understand it there is a problem with the DT on the Nova 3 sets.
