Looks like 4 of the refurbished HVs are on now Nice to hear, look forward to seeing one on the 468, as yet to see one. Wonder what other routes have been added? Hopefully 202 & 432 at very least. Then maybe 196, 198 & SL6, known changes, but no rush, but would save having to perform an additional update on what would be a growing number of LED displays. Hopefully the City's Will have the 2, 249, 432 and 468 added to their blinds.

Would there be a need for the Cities have N routes when they don’t have any Cities in service (Obviously there are some there in storage, but not being used). Or am I missing something?

Are you joking… the HAs are the same layout as HTs. In addition that depends if blinds are fitted to them…

Hopefully the City's Will have the 2, 249, 432 and 468 added to their blinds. I think it would make sense for the blinds from HV400-412 to go into the HAs with 196/198/SL6 inserts

I think it would make sense for the blinds from HV400-412 to go into the HAs with 196/198/SL6 inserts Would make sense to order new sets and put the existing blinds from HV398-412 into those HVs into HT1-17 with inserts with those routes & HV280 which already has these blinds. Overall HV398-412 will be the very last to be refurbished…

In addition that depends if blinds are fitted to them… Type training is still needed. Before we got the HAs, I was already type trained on ENX31 and 32 which is exactly the same but was still told to type train on the HAs

Hello, first post
Got a couple questions regarding things with TH
1. Any plans for adding new chargers to TH and if so how long would it take (I’m assuming less time because the sub station has been put in which caused all the delays)
2. What is most likely to be the next conversion route? I did see ES35 on the 250 doing trips for 2 hours but mainly because it was used on 689 prior.
3. I’ve also noticed the outstation near beddington still has the EMC’s and T’s that were withdrawn long ago, why they still there?

A couple of SLSs have left the site over the past few weeks, only one remain. There's only one T there as well.
