Default Asfordby to be used to test air conditioned tube trains

I hadn't realised that the main-line TOCs (as opposed to London
Underground) no longer used Old Dalby, as the report implies by the talk
of saving the line from closure by the decision to test LU trains there.
I'd assumed that Old Dalby would still be used for testing main line
trains - and now, additionally, LU trains. If main-line trains are no
longer tested there, then where are they tested?


There are trains being tested in the Czech Republic - the part of RP's
previous post that you snipped...


Oh so it's yet another thing that's being done overseas? Is there *anything*
that we can do in this country without having to do it overseas?
