When you say a refurbishment, is it to completely strip the unit down to the bodyshell or is it a refurbishment in respect of the DDA modifications?

Wonder who is paying for this then? I can't imagine Northern paying to do this seeing as they won't have the franchise next year so is it a DFT funding? I'm still led to believe one of the next franchise commitments is to completely refurbish the existing carriages.

On another note, those new CIS(customer info screens) at Prudhoe and Wylam are plain awful and they were not working when I past yesterday, signal problem I think it read. What is it with just the 2 line display also instead of the bog standard 3 line you see elsewhere. Corbridge do have the 3 line displays but that is only because the support for the display was put up earlier in the year.

Better than nothing I suppose and Northern do things on the cheap. Rolleyes

Re the door release beeps being too much - a lot of units down the south (especially Electrostars and Turbostars) have seven beeps. Those I do not mind - it's just the likes of South West Trains' Class 458/5s that have an ear-piercingly loud Desiro-style 'bing bing bing' which, once the door opens, is absolutely deafening.

That is one if many issues with the desiro, in summer they seem to have air conditioning set to -20 degrees, I get on in shorts and t shirts, come out with a coat on!

This isn't relevant to the thread. I doubt the air conditioning unit is set to -20 degrees, otherwise you'd have been frozen to death, and wouldn't be here to post in this thread.

I picked this leaflet up at Sunderland yesterday from the timetable racks there. I only got to have a look at it now, and it turns out it's a staff leaflet. Are these supposed to be distributed into the public?

They've been there for some while, I got one in about May.

So I would have thought it is a public leaflet, and is just worded as if it was directed at staff, this way showing what they should be achieving.

Not a public leaflet. Why would a passenger need to know the various points in the leaflet?
