Class 230 Train Is Delayed
This article from Rail Technology Magazine is entitled Vivarail trial start date delayed from October to February.
The article goes on to say there are problems with the approval process.
There are now three new types of trains, that appear to be late in appearing in public service.
- Vivarail’s Class 230 train.
- The Class 399 tram/train in Sheffield.
- Bombardier’s first production train with on-board energy storage.
The delays may all be for different reasons, but could a problem like a shortage of properly qualified approval staff be a common cause.
