Maybe it is a stupid question, but why is there a blue dot after the number on the 3rd S8 car from the south in the set?

when the trains are delivered from the test track formed
loco/loco barrier wagon - s stock - barrier wagon loco/loco
is it just one continuous brake pipe laid within the s stock and poked through a temporary end door then connected to the barrier wagon? i.e. s stock is totally unbraked but is able to meet 'mainline' rules by having 3 braked vehicles on rear of formation?
Just curious

That's certainly how it looks from the trains I've seen being delivered at Risborough...

How long now until we have more S Stock Trains than A Stock Trains? Both in London and in Service.

It must be around that number. The chances of getting an S Stock now when waiting seems 50/50 of maybe even higher now |

I'd hope not, as that is by far one of the most stupid things LU have done

They are the company responsible for deciding to break up the prototype units and build replacements, rather than refitting the prototypes to match the production units. |

Rumour of a rough shunt at Old Dalby between two S Stock trains earlier this week. Anyone heard anything?

Were any parts of the pre-production (IE - the bodywork/interior) used on the final production trains? |

Probably not, if the contract is to deliver x number of units then it will be up to the manufacturer whether they wish to reuse any prototypes. It will probably be better in the long run not to have modified prototype units running together with the production fleet. |

I think that was the plan with the 09ts. I believe much of the equipment was reused but there was so many changes in the cab for example, as andy has said it is better to have everything the same.
