So why are they talking about halving frequency from March 18th if the
new trains are good to go? Or is that now scrapped?

Driver training can now start, AIUI.


Of course, that's going to be even more frustrating for passengers
suffering a 2tph service, as they watch the empty new trains running
through, and even stopping, at their stations without the doors opening.

I would have thought it ought to have been possible to train a few Goblin
drivers on the new trains while they've been test running on the WCML. That
might have allowed a couple (ideally three) of the new trains to enter
service next week.
