As follows (as normal for an up direction diveunder train): [05/07/22 19:38:05] CA 2K23 PBSTIN PB0864 [05/07/22 19:39:54] CA 2K23 PB0864 PB0490 [05/07/22 19:42:01] CA 2K23 PB0490 PB0488 [05/07/22 19:42:53] CA 2K23 PB0488 PB0476 [05/07/22 19:48:01] CA 2K23 PB0476 PB0470 [05/07/22 19:48:55] CA 2K23 PB0470 PB0444 The time at Werrington Junction was entered manually after the fact for some reason.

Re-opened this morning, some pictures of the repairs in this twitter thread:

Yes, in fact the rheostatic brake is primarily used in diesel mode. With the pantograph raised the trains primarily use regenerative braking instead, only falling back the the rheo brake through neutral sections. The 745s don't have a rheo brake at all, only regen, so have to fall back to pneumatic braking through neutral sections.

From Marholm junction 1:337 falling for 345m 1:271 falling for 165m 1:112 falling for 781m 1:155 rising for 899m 1:124 rising for 330m Level for 190m 1:370 falling for 135m To Glinton junction Line speed is 60mph throughout including both junctions.

No, I've been involved in some of the testing.

5Q58/67 only went to Dovercourt because of timing constraints on the single line, on the later 5Q68/69 we went all the way to Harwich Town. Dovercourt & Harwich Town platforms are only being tested for future proofing at the moment though, nothing to do with the new Parkeston depot.
