No they haven't.

Also the investigation hasn't been completed yet so I'm not sure how you think RAIB have done so??

Oh dear Andreos, that looks like typical newspaper type speak! Cringe!

Train derailed on trap/catch points designed to do just that job if a train passes a signal at danger. I've seen rumours the signal was 'put back' after a possible error by the signaller(s), but that is no more than a rumour. Full details, as always, will be available in the appropriate RAIB report when issued.

Whey, all these industry parlances get a bit tiring after a while. It gets like an episode of Casualty at times. A bit 'dumbing' down never did anyone ever harm Wink

Heard similar rumours, but I am sure you would agree a public forum isn't the place to be commenting.

I hate any such phrases though, working in the industry does rather help fuel that. Trains are nothing like cars; they don't just "jump" lights.

Quite the contrary, speculation and debates are all what public forums are about!

Having seen the lack of progress, I ain't surprised.

Sections of electrification deferred.

Does this mean the trains due for FGW will be delayed therefore the Virgin Azumas and FTP Express Trains will be delivered earlier than expected?

According to the article, the bi-mode trains will be deployed on the routes that require diesel power.
How that impacts on stock being constructed at Aycliffe, I don't know. Not sure it will have any impact at all on the FTP stock though - that's being assembled in Spain from memory.

Edit. Just remembered that FTP are getting Hitachi stock in addition to the ones mentioned above. Apologies
