    Anyone heard how testing at Derby went? Looks like it was only there for two days before returning to Crewe.

    There's an update on the facebook page:

    “The train visited Alstom’s Derby plant for commencement of third-rail testing at their dedicated facility, travelling out from Crewe on Tuesday 11th August and returning to Crewe as booked on Thursday 13th August. The results have now been reviewed by Locomotive Services Limited who are commissioning the train, and further work on the Belle has been identified. Following some modifications over the next few weeks, the train will return and undertake further testing at Derby.”
