Titan Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just wondering, this train has been around a while now, how much older must it be before they drop the 'New' and it just becomes 'The Measurement Train'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just wondering, this train has been around a while now, how much older must it be before they drop the 'New' and it just becomes 'The Measurement Train'? In theory it will always been the new measurement train because it isn't the old one (although it incorporates kit from the old one). So it won't actually ever become anything other than the new one until the next one comes along at which time it could presumably become the 'Previous Measurement Train'. And at one stage it was titled the 'New Network Measurement Train' but it has somehow lost the 'Network' - probably due to too many 'N's in the shortened version slthough I thought it had actually been shortened to 'Network Measurement Train' instead of 'New Measurement Train'. I you're confused you're not the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Every time it passes by, it takes new measurements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The caption seems to lead us to believe that it goes from OOC to Plymouth EVERY Friday? Why would that be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps LA has the maintenance contract for the power cars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The caption seems to lead us to believe that it goes from OOC to Plymouth EVERY Friday? Why would that be? I think it's every other - it's normally on something akin to a two-week cycle covering all the "intercity" routes regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
