Connect goes live from SOT Monday,should be confusing as only 25% of trains have been enabled.

Connect goes live from SOT Monday,should be confusing as only 25% of trains have been enabled. ISTR, the figures were about the same just before the District went live. There was around 20 trains done and the depots managed to get all the covers off the rest of the Connect units in the cabs and switch them on overnight. |

The Vic and District systems seem to "overlap" far too often as well  .............. |

The Vic and District systems seem to "overlap" far too often as well .............. As do the Vic & H&C lines, with the added benefit that both lines use the same train numbers. |

There is no room on 96 stock for both legacy and Connect equipment. It was never planned for all trains to be done at once, nor is a simple case of switching over. About 15 trains were done over last weekend ready for Monday. and continues at rate of 5 per 24 h period. AIUI around two dozen are complete as at today. There is a 2 week transistion period with both radio systems working.

The only ''problem'' with the new-er units was that of paperwork - they had simply been missed off one checklist. There was never ever any technical issue - that was just canteen gossip.
