Mind I assume 1404 is on the dead list aswell currently.
It'll be interesting to see what goes to Blyth as in theory it should be 7557/8/60/62 but they're complete crocks as an understatement which won't help the problems at Blyth if the electrics aren't due imminitely.
Yeah I forgot about 1404, believe that’s major unit too.
In fairness to them, 7557 is the main issue from what I can see. I know it was having serious issues with overheating last year. 7558 has just had work done and is working well. 7560 seems limited to schools at present but does them daily, so I assume it’s waiting for a part to allow it to return to full service work. 7562 has just completed 3 consecutive days of Alnwick express work without issue, 2 of which were on the X15 where it performed very well by all accounts, and it is finishing at Alnwick again tonight.
