Can I nominate Transport for Greater Manchester to manage the Edinburgh Tram extension project? |

Of course, it would have been even worse if the new trains had all turned up on schedule and the wires weren't yet up. And at least the existing DMUs haven't been committed to another TOC yet. |
Last week I asked one of the station staff at Leyton Midland Road when the electric trains would be running. The answer was that almost none of the drivers had even begun learning how to drive the new trains.

Presumably *none* of the MTU drivers will have started learning to drive them (except perhaps in the classroom and simulator), as none of the 710s have been delivered yet? Or maybe they can start to be trained on the similar class 345s in service with TfL Rail. |

ISTR that they are committed to the West Midlands franchise. (Makes sense, they are the other major 172 operator, although I'm surprised that Chiltern don't want them.) At least 1 unit is earmarked for the Coventry-Kenilworth-Leamington service from December. I'm assuming that they might need some works attention before that, if only to have a toilet fitted. DC |

That would be quite expensive, and a large disabled loo will take out a significant proportion of the seats in a two-car set. |

No point using it in anger as drivers will lose whatever knowledge they may gain given delivery of the real trains is so late. The line user group has reported that the trains won't enter service until September at the earliest. Not one 710 has run on the NR network excluding the Old Dalby test track. Based on comments elsewhere the 710s use a brand new software platform and this is what is causing Bombardier problems. The 345s use a modified Electrostar software package which is why they're in service but 710s are not. I also suspect the 710s may have differences in how they perform plus functionality (e.g. dual voltage) which probably invalidates any use of the 345s as a driver training tool for Overground drivers. I also guess that MTR Crossrail (not MTU) have their hands full in training drivers for December and all of the testing in the core. -- Paul C via Google |

The OHLE is energised, is it not? Any chance that they can borrow rolling stock from elsewhere in the meantime? Energised but not finished nor fully signed off. Apparently there are still snags that need to be fixed and signed off. This would explain why no electric trains of whatever sort have been seen - barring the 378 test train that did a lot of data gathering. -- Paul C via Google |

The 345s use a modified Electrostar software package which is why they're in service but 710s are not. Thanks, that's interesting. I must admit I'm very surprised indeed that the software platform has been completely changed between the 345 and 710 Aventras, built little more than a year apart. I'd have expected either an all-new platform for all Aventras, or that the slightly later Aventras would have just minor changes from whatever the first Aventras used. I presume that the new Aventra software platform was running so late when the 345s had to be delivered, that the obsolescent old Electrostar platform had to be used as a stop-gap? Incidentally, didn't the 345s also have persistent software problems when first introduced on the Shenfield line? I also suspect the 710s may have differences in how they perform plus functionality (e.g. dual voltage) which probably invalidates any use of the 345s as a driver training tool for Overground drivers. I also guess that MTR Crossrail (not MTU) have their hands full in training drivers for December and all of the testing in the core. Oops, yes, of course I should have said MTR. |
