Freightliner operated, with no return path (as yet).
Thank you appreciated.Posted elsewhere that this will not be running...
I had just been thinking the same thing!sjpowermac any chance when you do your round up you could add which sets have been accepted by TPE please?
Would save trawling through hundreds of messages.
Sets 4, 6, 9 & 11 have been accepted so far
I wish we had someone this dedicated with access to that sort of information down in this neck of the woods, would be great to keep tabs on our new fleet introductions. Some sterling work there.Thank you, once again, very much for your summaries "sjpowermac" they are very useful. I can confirm TP06 was accepted on 15.05.19. The pattern seems to be roughly one per month, with TP04 being late perhaps due to additional tests to solve the software issue which caused driver training to be paused?
I hope you're keeping all this info somewhere safe - there's a book, or at least a magazine article there.

Feeling a bit of a ‘magpie’; most of the info was here on the forum already, courtesy of @Erniescooper for the TPE acceptance dates, @SP Man and @68011 for workings and @mikemcniven for the deliveries. The locos delivering the stock took a bit of research, mainly on Flickr/YouTube!I wish we had someone this dedicated with access to that sort of information down in this neck of the woods, would be great to keep tabs on our new fleet introductions.

My pleasure. I think we are really fortunate on this thread to have so many people, yourself included, who contribute in such a positive way. I’ve got no ‘inside’ info myself, so if people find the summaries helpful then I’m delightedThanks very much
Top pictures there, Stuart, fantastic to see these
So, what is the current plan for the Middlesbrough trains? I understand they currently share stock with the Newcastle diagram. The plan was to use Mk5as to Middlesbrough, and 802s to Newcastle, using extra capacity gained at Manchester with the May 2018 timetable change. We all know how that turned out!
So, will any new trains come to Middlesbrough now?
It has been reported on another thread that the southbound Middlesbrough to Airport and Newcastle to Airport services will swap paths from the December timetable change. That will separate the diagrams and enable different stock to be used on these two routes.So, what is the current plan for the Middlesbrough trains?

0P68/0M68 has run each day this week. On Monday there was a transfer move, 68023 came to York to swap with 68032 for the York driver refresher turns.Looks like a light loco on the move:

That'll be TP12, the most recent arrival.There's a Mk.5 set covered in plastic wrap on the western side of the main line at Longsight- not sure if this is Longsite International or not! Just passed through on a rather late TPE 185 (off topic- but I do like their new interiors! Very smart, although not sure cloth is the best idea).
TP08/10/13 still to be delivered, plus the spareNearly all here then! There are 13 sets being built according to Wiki.
TP08/10/13 still to be delivered, plus the spare
Hopefully helpful summary in post #3967
Post wasn’t intended to be negative in any wayHowever, 03 June, 26 June and 16 July are all around three weeks apart. If TP08/10/13 are delivered in such speedy increments, we could see all sets here in 9-10 weeks; one being early-ish August, one late-ish August and the last mid-ish September.
Yep, reported in the 397 thread to be 397006.Another Portbury move on Thurs, presumably returning with something on Friday

Unusual to have two in a week, suspect it’ll be an EMU rather than another 5A set.
