D854_Tiger Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Every picture or clip I have seen of a class 350 on that TV and Crewe flyer has featured only one unit. That maybe adequate for north of Rugby but south thereof includes a stop at Milton Keynes, just one unit in the peak stopping there sounds like a recipe for trouble. LM's Birmingham trains take on extra units at Northampton, even in the off-peak (and lose them in the opposite direction), but those Crewe trains are routed over the fast lines south of Rugby and don't stop at Northampton, indeed just the one stop at MK, with presumably no opportunity for strengthening. I wonder how they cope. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
