@Demonstrator4698 Spare E400MMCs are used on the 35. If you refer to my spreadsheet, you'll see that these are already down as 'Also commonly used', so not really noteworthy.

Spare MMCs are commonly on the 2/3, 6 and 18, I would say they were uncommon on 35, 49 & 76.

is this the only 45xx series trident at Yardley Wood or is there more to follow?

I reckon as the Platinums arrive slowly to WN, it should displace more Tridents out, potentially to YW

Oh ok then. Am I right in saying the 45xx have the better 4 speed ZF (or voith as I can never remember which) gearbox?

The ones coming to YW have a 4 speed Voith gearbox to keep YW fully Voith with their Tridents

Thanks @Tony I couldn't remember which type box it was. The 44xx and the 46xx have ZF boxes correct?
