My first ride of the type (10466) it cut out about four times between Picc and Reddish Bridge (about a third of the total number of times we stopped). A second one which number escapes me, it cut out at every stop. The last time was 10471 on Wednesday evening peak, which didn't cut out once, and did Undercroft to Bulls Head in a remarkable 18 minutes. The following morning, with the usual horrendous delays affecting mid morning 203s, 10471 breezed into Stockport 4 workings (but only 27 minutes) behind my journey. I suspect this "stop/start technology" will be a further cause of delays, so hopefully someone has permanently short-circuited it on 10471 (lol).

10471 is on the X57 today. I was on it down to Parrs Wood.Didn't cut out once and was very nippy.
