They are on test. Like every new train before them, they will fail from time to time. That’s why they need to prove themselves by running over a specified amount of problem-free miles before they are accepted into service. But I’m guessing you knew all that and are, as they say, using any stick to beat this particular dog with. Or do you think your campaign will stop their entry into service so we can instead keep the 90s and Mk3s? Though I seem to remember the 90s had a fairly unhappy entry into service with all sorts of poor reliability issues... Paul 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 Paul - I doubt Russ was being serious, wishful thinking but he knows Baby Deltics, in whatever form are never going to return and probably understands change is inevitable (but he doesn't have to like it) so I don't think we need to head off down the argument route. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2019 On Wednesday 03 July I went out for the new unit having its mileage accumulation run to Thetford and back (from Norwich). I left Eccles Road after it had headed back to Norwich in blissful ignorance ... I noticed a path appear for a Cambridge to Norwich new unit (they are 5Q..) and so headed out for this in the afternoon. When it appeared it was hauled by 37608 which confused me, when did that go to Cambridge I thought ? When I got home, I wrote up my notes for the photos and noticed that I'd missed a Norwich - Cambridge move (37 hauled) which had passed Eccles 5-10 minutes after I'd left Here's the one I did get - it's squashed up because there's a gang installing extra lighting on the station, and they were sitting just to the left, with their legs out stretched unfortunately. 03 July 2019 Eccles Road 37608, Andromeda, and 755407 on 5Q62, 15:20, Cambridge T.&R.S.M.D. - Norwich C.PT.
