I hope this is absolutely clear:
they are being built as the 48th and 49th trains, but they will be numbered and recorded on all LU systems as trains 1 and 2.

Last two cars of T47 arrived at the depot on Tuesday morning. T1 has been built at Derby but is going to be delayed by a lack of doors. Next batch of doors is due to be delivered to Derby on 24th october, by which time T2 should be complete minus it's doors.

Just been informed that T47 should have it's commissioning run this coming Friday, so if it passes, will be available for service after that. Bear in mind that there the Vic is shutdown this weekend.

That is my understanding too. I'll try and remember to post when it enters service if nobody else gets round to it first, being as seaeagle is on holiday.

Train 47's commissioning run ended up shutting the whole line down! I don't know where it failed, but the problem was no ATO or ATP available and caused an 18 minute delay at 14.47. Delivery dates for T1 is 30th Nov and T2 16th dec.

It is ready to go in service pretty much, it is just being used for other things at the moment.

Here's something different, an 09 going the other way! In the last few days train 20 has been decommissioned and has been taken back to Derby, reason unknown to me at this time as I've been on leave.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good, it must be sufficiently serious to merit sending the whole train back, right?

It appears T20 had an issue with sluggish movement on Sat 29th Oct and was withdrawn from service, but I wouldn't of thought that it would need a trip to Derby for that, I can only assume that something else showed up when the train returned to depot for examination into the defect.

Not that serious, one or some of the cars are built with bodyside panels in the wrong place, so it is going back to have those cars put right so that the emergency access cocks are in the same place as all of the other trains!
Nothing to do with sluggish movement, but an issue that has been there since it was built, LU just wanted it sorting out!

By and large, has the fleet started to settle in yet? Are they showing more potential than the S stock? Are they generally liked by people working with them now?

Over the weekend the D-car of the new train 1 was damaged in an incident when the train was being moved. In order to keep to delivery dates, the new train 2's D-car will be used to replace the one in train 1. I assume that the D-car will be renumbered into train 1's number sequence.
