Sorry to disappoint, but it's a Cl 802 that runs past Notepad. Did you not see the tick in the box on his page?Maybe the 68 features heavily in a ‘director’s cut’ version
(and incidentally, my new profile picture is from said TV Advert shoot)

On my first one now. Same negatives with poor comfort, ludicrously bright lighting, appalling ride, etc.
But also, the luggage space is terrible! First class doesn't even have a single luggage stack in it. Good thing first class travellers don't go long-distance or anything... /s
On the plus side, there's loads of room in both classes, but I am in agreement with other posters that this will soon fill up!
The overhead luggage racks are enormous.
5Q53 Eastleigh - Doncaster
Then 1737 to Heaton
802215
TPE livery
And better still than GWR's IETs...Yep, just passed it 5Q53 on the down slows near Alexandra Palace, they do look very nice in TPE colours, well much better than they do as Azumas.

Anyway my point bring Coach E 1st class the wheelchair space had been taken over by luggage and was full of kids. It was essentially a creche! My first thought was Operation Princess all over again...
802217 has now been assembled at Newton Aycliffe, and is currently making its maiden voyage on the rails south to Eastleigh today as 5Q99 from Doncaster Carr.
Ah, yes an 802, probably why the spotter looks bowledSorry to disappoint, but it's a Cl 802 that runs past Notepad. Did you not see the tick in the box on his page?

I took a video of this at Sandy this morning.
How quick can the boys at Eastleigh get the vinyl on?
cheers
This has been picked up. People will learn eventually that the wheelchair space is for wheelchairs and not any old large items that you used to “always put in the disabled bit”. Just need to get into the habit of making sure customers are deflected to more appropriate areas of the train.Anyway my point bring Coach E 1st class the wheelchair space had been taken over by luggage and was full of kids.

Not all the liveried units have been accepted yet. Several of those that have are undergoing exam or snagging. Anyway, it’s not like 350 403 isn’t running in grey!So why on earth aae we using naked 802s when there's numerous liverid up units available. It's like they don't want the preliminary services running attached to the brand, much like the Mk3s...
802215 arrived 17/10
departed 29/10
802202 arrived 23/10
depart ? guess, 5/11.
802217 arrived 30/10
depart ? guess, week after 202.
Why oh why? Useless Hitachi unable to keep up with routine inspections, as the case on GWR?218 (on diesel only)
Probably driver knowledge, or, more likely on the ECML, power supply constraints.Why oh why? Useless Hitachi unable to keep up with routine inspections, as the case on GWR?
Wouldn't explain over Chat Moss. There have also been no previous comments about TPE's 802 restricted to diesel on the ECML south of Chathill since the signalling was fixed.Probably driver knowledge, or, more likely on the ECML, power supply constraints.

Careful... I got chewed up and spat out the other week for having the audacity to suggest that many people wouldn't notice the difference between a 185 and a 350!I get it between a 156 and a 158 but jesus, a 185 and 802 don't even have doors in the same place.
That was my pointI thought it was north of Chathill due to power supply constraints
