The problem was always known, but I wasn't sure whether that information was allowed to be distributed to the group, for it came from a depot manager!
They performed quite badly yesterday - a few tweaks are required before they go back in service to improve performance and reliability. If anyone was in the areas where the 10/10A stay on the same path, they'd know that, at one point, like the 49s, they were running in threes.
Also, I believe they're going to work on getting the stop announcements fully implemented... Yesterday, a technician was out trying to get them working and he didn't seem to manage!
