Seriously though with the line being closed for a length of time some form of route training would have had to take place , not helped by industrial relations problems at both the RMT and ASLEF.

When did Network Rail realise they wasn't going to make the first deadline , seems like in this country electrification cant ever be done on time anymore .

The route learning was planned to take place around the original opening date to make sure crew are trained up on the route, unfortunately with it being pushed back there was no available option to route learn as it was under possession until it reopened weeks later. Now, as a result, crew are being trained alongside normal services.
