SBB Crocodile Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Bit late this month. TIN watch from MR. Last month in brackets. (MAA = Moving Annual Average Miles per Technical Incident) Top of the class was, again, ScotRail class 385 with a score of 31,313. 745/0 MAA 5395 (4750) 755/4 MAA 3156 (3156) 755/3 MAA 3254 (2947) New entrant 745/1 has a MAA of 4080. Obviously the TIN for 745/0 for period 1 has improved and was 6899 as opposed to 4188 last month. I notice that the 755/4 had a worse MAA than the 755/3. Also included was a table for delay minutes which gives an indication on how long it takes to get going again. 745/0 for period 1 has 9.3 minutes, closely followed by 755/4 which has 9.7. 755/3 took 13.3 minutes. Whilxt 755/3 are 3rd from the bottom, the other two are in the middle of the table which goes from the best at 5.3 (TPE 397) to the worst 137.4 which is the surprising figure for the LNER 801. The next ot bottom was GWR HST short formed sets with 15.4. Hope this is of interest. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBB Crocodile Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) FYI, TIN watch from MR for period 2. Period 1 in first brackets and period 13 last brackets. 745/0 MAA 5178 (5395) (4750) 745/1 MAA 3835 (4080) (No p. 13) 755/4 MAA 3419 (3373*) (3156) 755/3 MAA 3604 (3254) (2947) * corrected figure. Electrics not healthy. Bi modes are improving. Table positions around the same except 755/4 and 755/3 are reversed. As usual Scotrail 385 top the leader board with an MAA of 34,230.

Siggie in the east Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 1P45 has been involved in a fatality on approach to colchester around CO1176 signal under Ipswich Road over Bridge. The first 745 to unfortunately be involved in one. Situation has now been dealt with. Thanks 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Without sounding too gruesome, I'd hate to have to clean one up from the tragic incident There are books and crannies all over the front end.

A sentiment that is echoed by some fitters I know Yes they aren't the easiest front end to clean. We have an ex BTP and a Special Constable working in the box here now and both have said that if and when these incidents happen, they may get classed as 'complicated situations' due to the shape of the nose of the train and most BTP officers don't have the necessary training yet. I foresee clean up times becoming longer than 90mins. Thanks 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire concrete slab is being taken out and a completely new foundation and facility will be fitted in its place. Its not been the same since a coach derailed on approach to it and the carriage took out the washer and a few OHL stanchions. Thanks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Some 755 shots on the line between Cambridge and Newmarket. Had a ride on them up and back between Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds, perfectly acceptable as trains, working 13 amp and USB points between the seats. Public address system was intermittent. Very noisy on diesel if you sit near it. Here's the two units at BSE doing the runs to Cambridge. The rest of the line is closed for engineering works. Lots of cleaning the CCTV cameras and windows both here at BSE and at Newmarket (note brush and bucket on right hand platform.

Suzie Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Interesting that it was not moved under its own power if not a failure. Did the loco need positioning too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 If it's dragged it presumably traction wise is not counted as its own mileage and hence fractionally extends the period between maintenance being required and equal implications on warranty Issues.

crackedmember Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The Real question is what does the Class 47 do next? Does it return light engine to Norwich? If not it may simply be a case of avoiding track occupancy issues in the Ipswich Area, in order for the locomotive to get to its next duties. Note as this is a friday this may be for weekend engineering works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
