Advantages: Quite fast despite everything.

Disadvantages: Everything

I think it was 1997 when I was first promised new trains on c2c. If my memory is correct they were due for the spring of 1998 and were late even then. On my own particular branch of the line I am still waiting for them.

During this periord the company changed its name (possibly due to embarisment)this means that the trains are now in the wrong colours!

The electrostars have a number of technical problems including software faults (causing the train to lose powere or start talking rubbish) Even now, when we do see a train that is actualy moveing we find an engeneer must be present in case the doors jam.

I also notice that the photograph provided for this topic with the shiny new trains does not seem to be from any c2c station that I recognise. The colur scheme is different too.
