That’s a really interesting insight into how things work. I’d guess too that there’s often not a quick fix.Unfortunately new trains are software driven and a very minor change to one thing alerts others that can then cause other issues. For example the system was looking for the brake to release in a certain timescale, when an alteration was made the setting was out by milliseconds which would cause a fault to be shown. This was worked through and sorted.
Am I right in saying that the time at Velim was cut short due to the volume of other work at the test track? In your experience is it easier to iron out problems on a test track rather than the ‘live’ railway up and down the WCML?
From what you’ve said, it seems that the current crop of trains are a whole new ball game compared with what has gone before.
