(29 Jan 2016, 8:02 pm)Michael Wonder if they'll replace that then, it might take a while but it'll be worth it... as long as they get new trains to Tongue


It will have to be replaced in the coming years otherwise reliability will get worse and cuase yet more delays.

Would love New trains yet it looks like a few more years till they enter service, It was a bad idea to refurbish trains to last another 15 years when they were already life expired.

Already, today, an early Sunderland train cancelled and now one stuck on the bridge. I think it's a little unfair blaming the operator for the weather but there does appear to have been one major problem after another, recently.

There was a feature on look north earlier after Nick Forbes warned Db about their performance.
They're on a notice to improve apparently and if they don't, the contract will be terminated.
Db have stated they aim to improve communication.

At least.

And trains were terminating at Chichester, earlier, as there was an ambulance on scene at South Shields. Another unavoidable one, but it doesn't go down well when there's so much disruption.

Ye the one at South Shields couldnt be helped.

I hope the person who needed the ambulance is alright.


Today:

3 trains withdrawn causing massive delays. 
1 ambulance attending - delays again but can't be helped.


I wonder who'll bid for the contract but who ever takes over needs to promise some, if not all these things:

New trains
Better prices
Better communication
Be prepared for issues on the track/stations etc.

A lot of people are blaming DB on social media but I do think it's nexus fault as DB just run it.

Also did nexus try to secure funding for new trains or just the bid to refurb?
